so many of the universities seem to be giving those kind of odd offers now - like acceptance into Sophomore year
Did everyone who got admitted submit their 2023-2024 financial aid information?
D23 accepted to Newhouse with $30k/year merit. (Two stacked scholarships).
She’s pretty happy. That merit makes it competitive with other offers!

She’s got Northwestern in her inbox but won’t look at it until she gets home from school.

It helps them balance out their class sizes - they know if they have a target class size of 2K kids and a 90% first year retention rate then they’ll have 200 kids leave after freshman year - Allows them to replace them from a partner school/program.

I applied to Falk as my first option and Whitman as my second option and ended up being admitted to an entirely different college (Information studied). Did anyone else receive a similar decision?

DS 780M/700V SAT; top 20 of a class of close to 1000. Main EC is being a serious athlete (but not recruitable for Div 1).
He did check that Northwestern email and rejected. But it was expected and probably wasn’t the right fit for him anyway, so he’s not upset!
DD in at Maxwell!

Hi levylynda. Congratulations on the OSU probably decision. As a Nittany Lion that congrats is reluctant though 
but I know from other OSU applicants that FA was pretty good and overall rated above SU anyway although of course everything depends on your major. We are going to Rochester for bio medical pre med. Good luck.

Good luck to you too! I have good friends that are an all-in Michigan family to they are even more reluctant with their congrats! He got got scholarship (on an already much cheaper base) and honors college there. So happy with that. He did like Syracuse as well - but at least it makes the decision easier 
Yes, I have heard that OSU is really good with FA. We had friends from Buffalo that said it made it less than SUNY Buffalo which is really impressive. We really like SUNY Buffalo Honors too but the small size of UR and close student faculty relations just makes us go that way despite somewhat higher cost. D’s older sister went to UR and loved it. Initially we didn’t think UR was going to work with limited merit but they came through later in the FA national UR grant money. Still wish we had the SU option but waitlist is a waste of time unless it is maybe Harvard.

Waitlisted Whitman. Same letter with reference to family connection, which I appreciate. I’m an alumni. I’m more disappointed than son. Congratulations to all who got in !

Daughter waitlisted at Newhouse. Put A&S as second choice but no word on that.

S was accepted to college of arts and sciences. No merit in the acceptance letter itself. Having trouble accessing my slice. For those who received merit, was it in the letter or in your my slice?
