<p>Does it make sense that I got the deans scholarship for 20k a year, but I didn't get into the honors program?</p>
<p>It’s more common to get both together, but not impossible to only get the max Dean’s Scholarship. I believe one is based on % by major and the other is a % of the entire incoming class.</p>
<p>What do you mean % by major?</p>
<p>The same thing happened to me Jackiepepe. I know the scholarship is really the most important part but I was just kinda bummed I won’t get to live in IV haha</p>
<p>Like, for example, they give it to the top 10% in each major, rather than the top 10% of the incoming class.</p>
<p>hey jackie its tiffany from math! hahaha, congratulations on the 20k scholorship :)</p>
<p>Haha thanks! Are you in the neu accepted students facebook group? Lol</p>
<p>no im not! i didn’t know they had one. hahaha doing that now. what major are you entering with?</p>
<p>Haha oh I thought you meant like Tiffany who’s entering as math. Wow it just clicked now haha I’m entering as math! Haha idk why though cause our midterm was terrible. What major did you pick?</p>
<p>I just received 12K from NEU; curious what your major, gpa and sats were to get 20K</p>

<p>i received the 20k scholarship but was not accepted into the honors program. My ACTs were 33, SAT 1430/2080, and my weighted GPA was 3.9 (my school doesnt share unweighted GPAs)</p>
<p>I got the 20k scholarship and honors. My ACT was 33, SAT was 2030, and my unweighted/weighted gpa is 3.98/4.71 so I am in top 5% out of a class of about 915. My guess is that they put an emphasis on gpa.</p>
<p>It is the big picture guys. My D got a $10,000 excellence scholarship. Unweighted/weighted 4.0/4.0+ but SAT’s 1950. She is in the top 2% of a class of 212.</p>
<p>Also, you might not be honors because of the major you have chosen. If there are mega high stats out there in your major, you might miss out with honors but still be considered for $20,000 Deans.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s more than just the numbers. My D got into honors program with $20,000 Dean’s scholarship with an undeclared major.</p>
<p>GPA 3.9 [school only weights grades]
SAT 2160 [didn’t submit ACT or SAT II; she took them after applying]
She’s in the top 20% of her class.

<p>Exactly. My older 2 didn’t take an SAT prep class and although did fine, I figure there was more money out there if they had done better! Cost of a class is worth it if it leads to more merit aid! I’m s slow learner! haha</p>
