I am wondering if anyone has experience with the Tuition Exchange process. We were told to cast a wide net which we did ,but just wondering when is the earliest we can expect to hear from these colleges?

Tuition Exchange for Fall 2022 Freshman applicants (Class of 2026)

I didn’t see another thread dedicated to the topic of those with kids applying for tuition exchange for Fall 2022 (Class of 2026) so I thought I’d start one. I have to say that all the schools my current HS senior daughter is applying to are TE schools. When my DD(17) was thinking about what she was looking for in a school, we started researching schools that were on the TE primarily. While we know that these scholarships are increasingly harder to get, we definitely wanted to focus on those that it would be a possibility. She would love to go to a school outside of Florida, although she has already been admitted to my alma mater and employer university. Plus, she is also applying to Stetson University in Deland, FL, about an hour and a 1/2 from us and also on the TE. Her stats are 3.92 unweighted/4.32 weighted with a 1270 SAT. Not the highest SAT score, but she had taken the tests before she was diagnosed with ADHD which severely impacts her reading and timed test taking ability. Un…

Congratulations and best of luck going through the Tuition Exchange process. Yes, it is competitive, but it seems your daughter will be well-positioned to receive a TE scholarship at 1 or more of your schools listed. We went through the process in 2019-20 with our oldest son and his GPA was probably about 3.9, with an SAT score of 1330. What we found is that you want to apply for TE at the schools where your child is at the top of the middle 50% SAT range. Also, focus on the schools that give scholarship to 11-40% (or more) of the applicants. For our son, he received TE offers from Syracuse University, St. Joseph’s University (Philadelphia) and Depaul University (Chicago). He had already committed to St. Joseph’s University and we paid our deposit. Then, late MAY, we found out that he received the DePaul University TE scholarship - this was his first choice! So, we lost our $400 deposit to St. Joseph’s University and committed to DePaul. He has been happy with his choice. He loves Chicago - last year was tough, because classes were remote, but this year things are in person. Nevertheless, just realize that you may receive a last minute decision from schools - as late as May or even June. Be prepared to change directions at the last minute.
Currently, we are going through the process with our 2nd son (who is also 17). His stats are very similar to your daughter’s, with his SAT score being 1260. So, again, we are aiming for the schools where he is at the upper end of the middle 50% SAT range. Additionally, he has applied for an ROTC scholarship and he is very into varsity sports.
We hope to receive TE offers from 1-2 schools. Fingers crossed!
Congratulations! You’ve made it - your schools are submitted. Now, the waiting begins!

Unsure, as our oldest son is not a team sport athlete.

Son was just awarded tuition exchange from Western New England University- such a pleasant surprise hearing so early.

I linked the list of Fall 21 spots that TE listed as still available in May 2021. Salve was on there. As usual, this will vary by year. Last year college apps were truly affected by the pandemic thus Im interested to see how things end up this year. Keep us posted on TE acceptances and gpa/scores, etc.
