Pretty sure you have to set your UConn email up once you’re accepted.
You set up email after you are accepted, but the email is always… first name.last name@uconn.edu…john.smith@uconn.edu
At this point I wouldn’t take anything as a bad sign…its still a few days early…but if you don’t have a common name and are listed as a student…or you see an email address on your student center or a link to pay the $150 deposit(it was $150 last year) its a good sign…even if it won’t let you pay the deposit…just the link showing up seemed to a sign last year.
I think anyone who submits FAFSA will have some data in the financial aid area eventually even if it’s just fed loans.
Saw my name in the directory! All it said under it was “status student” no email or anything
Uconn did not send out any fin aid info until several weeks after my daughter was accepted…and I did fafsa on January 2nd. Schlaorships and Merit $ should be revealed upon acceptance…thats how it was last year.
What gets me worried is that it says “none” under my dorm address and campus email and there is nothing under the financial aid section. No merit $ letter or link to pay deposit.
same here. @amatos12 although my name shows up on the directory for the phone book
Heard that DMD had sent acceptances, the portfolio arts were first…
You will not get an address until August…there was no fin aid info until March or April last year. Merit $ info will not come until you are admitted. In my opinion the biggest clue…for us last year…was finding her name in the directory
@ThirdTimeAround7878 They do look holistically. And they do weigh heavy on scores/grades. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed. My son is waiting, went through this 2 years ago with my daughter who is current sophomore there!
@TLD1267 when you saw her name in the directory did it say “status: student” or did it have an email along with it as well?
Honestly can’t remember for sure…but I’m pretty sure it only said student…
Question: Is every applicant automatically considered for the merit scholarship? I know international students are not qualified for financial aid. Don’t know about scholarship.
Where is the directory??
TLD1267- OMG! Thank you SOOOO much! I just used the link and typed my son’s name and it’s in there!!! That’s not 100% definitive I know, but you’d think it means something. That said, could mean accepted but not for Storrs as well. He is only going if it’s Storrs. Thank you all for being so supportive- sooo glad we have each other!
@becautious http://phonebook.uconn.edu/results.php from @TLD1267 's post.
Yes…all apps are considered for merit $…but last year apps in by Dec 1st got the $ first.

I noticed that uconn.edu emails were available for some applicants in the phonebook: http://phonebook.uconn.edu/results.php
Fiona- congrats to you and thanks! What state are you from again Fiona? What are you studying? Maybe we can all parents/kids go to same welcome session for accepted students (if in fact true that the directory link inclusion means good things)!!
Hey guys, the phone book is for any current student, that also means students who have taken Uconn ECE courses are in this phone book. That means if you have taken any ECE courses from Uconn, your name will be in it. I don’t think the directory will tell you much.
