<p>Do try to visit Bama…I think you’ll be very impressed by all the new facilities. (Frankly, I think once you have that awesome Presidential Full Tuition scholarship in your hand, it may not be hard to convince the parents to come for a visit. :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>Welcome and congrats. Your son should soon hear from the Col of Eng’g in regards to his other scholarship award of an additional 1/3 tuition plus 2500 per year. (Amazing!)</p>

<p>Have you contacted Allison and Susan in the Honors College? If not, please do so. The info is in Post #69</p>

<p>I’m not officially accepted yet, but I can see the new tabs and honors college app on mybama!</p>

<p>Gender: Female</p>

<p>Home State: Wisconsin</p>

<p>Intended Major: Physics and either math or computer science</p>

<p>Hobbies/Interests: Most of my time is spent being the debate captain, but I also do forensics, model UN, and math team. I play guitar and bass or read when I get the time.</p>

<p>Have you visited Bama yet? If so, when did you visit? If not, will you do so? - I drove around the campus with my family in the spring, but haven’t gone on an official visit yet. We probably will around Thanksgiving break.</p>

<p>Also, include anything else you’d like to include, such as scholarship awards, interest in the Honors College, interest in BUI, CBH, UFE, etc - I know I’m qualified for presidential and will possibly get the National Merit add-ons as well. I’ll definitely be applying to the honors college, CBH, and maybe UFE. I’ll also be looking into applying to join/live with Mallet Assembly as well.</p>

<p>Hey Everyone,
Dont want to jump the gun, but my son just called me to say that their are two extra tabs on his mybama account “tech” and “student” and he now has access to freshman deposit and the honors application. Does this mean that he is accepted? No official word received yet via email or otherwise.</p>

78

<p>The school deposit isn’t refundable, but the housing deposit is refundable. The housing app fee ($25) is not refundable.</p>

<p>The issue is this…if your son waits til spring to deposit, then he may not be happy with what’s available. If he ends up having to deposit before he knows for sure, then he might as well deposit soon so that he’ll have the best choices as options.</p>

79

<p>NYB and Takingback…usually extra tabs mean accepted!!</p>

<p>Congrats to all!</p>
