Did anyone get mail today yet?
Have any business majors been accepted yet?

but I know someone who hasn’t heard yet from school of business
D was accepted School of Art & Sciences Storrs OOS GPA 4.0 ACT 30 combined
@luckycharm5 Thank you! Congratulations!
2 Questions:
- how/when do special program admittances come out?
- how/when are merit scholarships communicated (as to the amount)?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Accepted into the business Program! 3.4 UW 3.85 W 1330 SAT, 13 IB classes 1 AP, captain of two sports teams, National Honors Society, 100 hours of community service.
In state as well
Son accepted business school 3.53 gpa and 1350 SAT. It will be interesting to find out if we are not getting any merit since we don’t have the link under financial aid and if the ones that have it are getting merit. Not that I think he deserve it. His stats are not great. He does have a few hooks!
His friend was accepted too with better stats. Does anyone know if they can room together if both decide to go?
@maylewis999 oh yes they can def room together. though the campus is spread out so if their majors are similar it would be easiar so one doesnt have to walk a longer distance
Good to know. Thank you! I love my sons friend and he would be a very good influence on my sons study habits. My friend has a daughter going to Marist and they do not allow. My other son is at Lehigh and he was allowed too.
I am very curious about merit aid, too. My son was admitted to UVM and when he had no information in his portal, it meant her had no merit aid (I called his admissions counselor at UVM to confirm this). But different schools do things differently.
@maylewis999 When you apply for housing you can specify if you have a room mate in mind. If your son’s friend has better stats chances are he will be offered housing that is only meant for Honors students.

Son accepted to Business School. In State. 4.2 Weighted GPA 32 Act. Strong EC, class president and captain of two varsity sports. No word on merit although we think unlikely as Storrs becomes increasingly competitive in state… We will not qualify for aid based on what we’ve seen from other schools.
If I don’t have the link under Financial Aid about scholarships does that mean I got no merit?
Never stayed at Best Western. Know people that have and heard not great things. We stay in Manchester at Hampton Inn. Have stayed at Nathan Hale nice but a lot more $.
My S and I stayed at the Hampton Inn and it was just fine. Maybe 25 minutes from campus.
Can someone explain the “New Admit Scholarship Acceptance” link? Is the student’s merit award buried somewhere in there?
@H0llyw00d I think that document contains terms you must accept, but the amount of scholarship has not yet been ID’d. It sounds like either it will come in the letter, or will come separately in the middle of the month. Does anyone have any better intel?
