<p>@kalivenable what were your stats?!</p>

445

<p>I really hope I get my decision this Friday…</p>

<p>@dreamingofcuse96 they’re posted ^^</p>

<p>kalivenable </p>

<p>What are you majoring in at Newhouse?</p>

448

<p>TRF is gonna be awesome!</p>

449

<p>I feel like I’m the only one who applied for Newspaper and Online Journalism haha.</p>

450

<p>Well, the way I view it, newspaper is a dying medium. Online (which you thankfully are doing as well) is the future, man.</p>

451

<p>I applied for Broadcast. Fingers crossed that the rest of us find out this Friday!</p>

452

<p>It’s a shame though, some of my best childhood memories involve newspapers and tea on a sunday morning. I guess it’s better for the environment too.</p>

453

<p>Yeah I’m looking more towards a career in online journalism. Thank god that they’re the same major. Maybe they’ll have to accept a certain number for that major and It’ll increase my chances :p</p>

<p>I am majoring in Magazine Journalism right now; I think I am going to double major in Magazine and Entrepreneurship…I want to start an online magazine so I feel like those two degrees would come in handy. </p>

<p>On other note does anyone know if they give you less grants if you already got a merit scholarship? I got notified I am getting a scholarship today…but I still need financial grants to attend. Any thoughts?</p>

455

<p>@Kalivenable isn’t it binding unless the school/FAFSA determines that you are ineligible to attend because of financial reasons?</p>

456

<p>That’s what it says in the ED agreement</p>

457

<p>^^ The applicant (not the school or anyone else) determines if the offered aid makes attendance possible. If it’s not enough, you decline the offer and apply RD elsewhere.</p>

458

<p>The school/FAFSA cannot determine that for a student; if you don’t get enough scholarship or financial aid then you can tell the school that you cannot afford to attend. I am not sure what the exact wording is in the ED agreement but I called financial aid before I applied and asked.</p>

459

<p>I can confirm what others have said about getting out of an ED agreement for financial reasons. I had called the admissions office to discuss it before my son applied ED. They confirmed that if we can’t afford it (by our estimation) that is a valid reason to be released from the ED agreement (actually, really, the only one.) It isn’t the school’s decision, it is yours.</p>
