<p>where did you guys find all this scholarship info? in the app status?</p>
<p>mbdarbin: underneath the acceptance letter there was a link- see below.<br>
The line that says financial aid letter was a clickable link.
Same thing happened to my son with WPI- other people received merit with their decision letter but he didn’t receive his until a couple weeks later. It was very stressful- but don’t lose hope just give them a call on Monday and inquire if merit is still a possibility for you!
Good luck and congrats on acceptances everyone! :)</p>
<p>Multiple letters are on file for this account:

<p>To add data points for future applicants, here’s some of his info:</p>
<p>ACT 32 (superscore), including 34 M and 35 S
SATIIs - Math 2 - 720, Chem-750, Phys - 750
WGPA - 4.0
Top 5% of class
All around ECs - sports, music, comm service - with leadership.</p>
<p>I do know that others from his HS were accepted - maybe they didn’t want to outright accept so many from our school? Or maybe he just wasn’t competitive for BME? Either way, that’s why you have to cast a wide net in the app process - you just never know!</p>
<p>DS already has other great options. Good luck to all of you who attend RPI in the fall!</p>
<p>Just found out DS was accepted! No info yet on FA.</p>

<p>Hi. How do you know what major you get in？ I mean I got accepted but it did not show what major I got accepted.</p>
<p>Hi. How do you know what major you get in？ I mean I got accepted but it did not show what major I got accepted.</p>
<p>My son also got accepted.</p>
<p>SATs were 2030 (780 Math)
Lower GPA but Eagle Scout, and a few activities.
Bicentennial Award for $23,000 and an unsubstitzed loan.</p>
<p>When I received the financial aid package and it spelled out the 60K + for the year… and our contribution at $33K a year…my head pounded.
Still waiting on two schools… but the decision will have to be made… a Polytech School vs. a State School for $15K more a year. </p>
<p>How do people DO THIS???</p>
<p>Hi Shawnwang</p>
<p>Did you apply to a major or as undecided? Whatever you applied to, that’s should be what you were accepted to.</p>
