<p>My S applied a few weeks ago using the my choice application. He has great stats, but we are unsure if all merit aid goes to the Early application pool. Also, do they do any sort of rolling notification after early application pool, or is it all in April? </p>

<p>I didn’t find any indication on the website that all the merit aid goes to the EA pool admits. With that ACT he will almost certainly be admitted. How much aid he will be offered is hard to say, but very likely it will be at least $10K per year (not that that is enough to make a dent in the COA).</p>

<p>It doesn’t all go to the EA pool. Maybe you’re thinking of another Jesuit school in Boston. ;)</p>

<p>Last year, some applicants in the RD pool did hear early. My S was accepted by letter (yes…small envelope!) in the end of Feb/beginning of March but didn’t get the package until weeks later.</p>
