Scholarships

<p>Midnight 10/31</p>

<p>Sure thing Biology2016.</p>

<p>GPA: Unweighted was a 3.41 I think. Might’ve been lower.
SAT: Math - 600, WR - 730, CR - 800
Activities: Girl Scouts, National Honor Society, Yearbook (Photography Editor), Newspaper (Photography Editor), Model UN, Mock Trial, AMP (mentoring program), Step Up (anti-bullying program), and an internship my senior year.</p>

<p>I also applied to Washington College, York College, Drexel University, Towson University, and Loyola. I was accepted to all of them and was offered scholarships at Washington, York, and Drexel. I plan on going to UMBC. :)</p>

<p>Merit Aid and Meyerhoff Selection Weekend invite arrived yesterday.</p>

<p>My son applied before Nov 1.</p>

<p>Did you verify that his application was complete?</p>

<p>If you applied Early Action before November 1st – you were notified in December of acceptance. Those people are given scholarships first and shoud have received their letter today. Some years they have scholarship money left over (usually because early applicants let them know they are attending elsewhere) and will give out scholarships to the general applicants who applied after November 1st. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>Autumntears, </p>

<p>You have to apply to the Honors College directly. There is a separate essay for that.</p>

<p>Hsmom,
Thank you. I finally found the info on the school website.</p>

<p>Still haven’t received anything and I live right outside DC… should I be worried?</p>

<p>MechEm, if you applied by Nov 1st and haven’t heard from them by Monday, then you should probably give them a call.</p>

<p>Anyone going to Meyerhoff Selection Weekend on 24/25 Feb?</p>

<p>hsmom: Yep. I’m looking forward to learning more about the program. Do you know what the agenda is at all, or anyone on this forum participated in one of these weekends? What do the interview’s mostly consist of?</p>

<p>I got the Premier Award for Out of State!! SO PUMPED FOR UMBC!!</p>

<p>I really want to be part of the Honors Program, but I haven’t heard back from UMBC yet…</p>

<p>Anyone heard if they got the Meyerhoff award yet?</p>

<p>Neighbor went for the weekend; no news yet.</p>

<p>The director of Meyerhoff passed away a couple of weeks ago. His funeral was last week. They are probably evaluating applicants now. I believe that they said decisions should be out around April 1.</p>

<p>Got the Meyerhoff letter in the mail today!!!</p>

<p>Ditto here - proudmom1313! My daughter is thrilled and her father and I are delighted! PM me - where do you live?</p>

<p>I hope you don’t mind me asking,
What was your son/daughter’s stats? (GPA, SAT score, Extra-curricular’s)
I’m trying to weigh my chances at UMBC and the Meyerhoff Scholarship…(I’m a MD High School Junior)</p>

<p>I don’t think they are gonna respond- this thread is almost a year okd</p>
