NJ- acceptance to School of Nursing today. Merit included.
Iâm in MA and I havenât gotten anything yet
Nothing for my daughter â greater Boston
What amounts of merit have accepted people got so far? And can you post your SAT or ACT, GPA, etc.? Thanks.
Got acceptance yesterday!
Got acceptance on Saturday, but not to the Nursing program. Merit aid was included in package. DD will not be attending because we have direct-admits at other schoolsâŠand better packages.
@MortgageMamma glad to hear your DD has other options. Would you mind sharing her stats? Trying to gauge chances. Thank you.
Yes, if anyone whoâs gotten merit aid/scholarships would you mind sharing how much youâve gotten and what your stats were? Thanks so much.
DD received $22K (includes $ for Honors program & choir, instrument, or theatre participation)
GPA weighted: 101 unweighted: 96
SAT: 1280
AP, Honors, and College Level courses
Various extracurriculars
*Merit was less than all other schools
D20 was accepted â Nursing-with $19,500 scholarship ($17.5K merit, $2K honors â need to keep a 3.4 minimum GPA). Applied EA, 94.4/100 GPA, 1250 SAT, NY. We are kind of disappointed in the merit offered. SHU is the most expensive option and we donât like that $2k is dependent on keeping a 3.4. We visited the campus twice and loved it, but will probably go with a different school.
Still waiting in MAâŠ
I just got my letter in MA today. They said that I wonât be notified of my decision until I visit campus. Anyone else get something like that? Is visiting campus a required part of the admissions process?
Applied EA for Communication Disorders, 3.83 GPA, 33 ACT
Yes my daughter got a letter like that as well. We are in Western New York, not exactly around the corner. They also offered other evening sessions to attend, but none are near us. She has other good offers with much more merit than what they told us sheâd likely qualify for so itâs not worth the trip for us. I have never heard of this, usually it would be a rejection, deferral, waitlist or acceptance. stats 29 ACT and 3.7 GPA. AP and honors with lots of EC/varsity swim
D20 was accepted into Nursing program. We did visit campus and she recently interviewed. She got a fairly standard merit package $14k merit and $2.5k dependent on theater program participation which is a little random based on my daughters high school experiences. My daughter did not submit test scores.
Has anyone tried to get more merit money, and if so how do you go about that?
I did not hear about the visiting part for SHU, but my daughterâs friend heard that from other schools
Daughter received acceptance today. Got in with a $19,500 scholarship, $2000 of which was for honors program. I thought it was a little low; she has a 1400 SAT and a 4.215 GPA, 5 APâs, all honors classes, lots of extracurriculars. Thankfully itâs not high on her list.
