BTW…there is no engineering program in Waterbury.
I agree! It’s mind boggling but how they do now.
The percentage of kids who get Storrs and are from CT is extremely low 
If it says Spring to Storrs it’s usually spring if freshman year. One semester branched. I’m sure it is based upon #s and housing
Housing has been pretty tight on campus. Students who graduate in December or study abroad in the spring open up some spaces for the spring to Storrs students. One semester flies by, and you can save a lot of money by commuting that one semester (if that’s possible). FWIW, one of my kids got “branched”. She decided to go to a different school but did transfer to Uconn and Storrs after one semester. The transfer was seamless. She is thriving and it’s hard to even believe she hasn’t been there from day one.

D23 got the same merit as well and no mention of honors. I’m curious about the answer to your question as well. Got less money from Pitt but got into honors…. Who knows how any of this works?! She is undecided at both!
First semester is usually just gen eds. Nice to get some of them out of the way in Waterbury. Congrats on acceptance to engineering! It’s very competitive!

I’m super confused…any help. Son applied undecided with Storrs as the only choice…got accepted to UCONN Hartford…so that’s it? That’s his only choice to go to UCONN is the Hartford campus. It’s frustrating…I think he’d rather hear a no vs. yeah you can come but you can’t come to the main campus for 2 years.
DD accepted with $23K leadership scholarship

That’s very common for in state kids to be “branched”. At least with Uconn Hartford I believe you can still live on the Storrs campus (at least it used to be that way). There is a bus that takes you from Storrs to the Hartford campus.

Correct
If your daughter has 6 APs and is doing engineering, she will probably come in with AP credits in Calc, Physics, Chem, maybe CSA? In that case she would have a lot of her first year covered, as UCONN appears to be relatively generous with the AP credits.
I would suggest looking closely at her major requirements (suggested 4 year plan), what courses are available at the branch campus, and AP credits given here: AP, IB, and A Level Credit | Undergraduate Admissions : Undergraduate Admissions
Even if the branch campus doesn’t have engineering, you can plan out what she could do in her first semester that would give her a head start on gen eds, or anything else in her major (I expect that they offer multivariable calculus at each campus?)
We just went through the same thing with Northeastern (my son was offered NUin) and figured out that we couldn’t make the scheduling work well for my son’s major. But it really depends on what the major requires and what is offered.
Admitted, Honors. Scholarship 23k/year.
OOS. Econ major. 3.95 UW, 4.4 W. 33 ACT. 8 AP, rest honors. Varsity athlete/captain, other club leadership, some volunteer, summer job.

We got $0 in aid so $50k for Stamford campus OOS seems like a bit much. Daughter got into UMass so focusing on that while we wait on the others. This process is difficult my d has a great gpa APs, Honors, and dual enrollment classes so these results are hard.
Goodluck everyone!!

Where did you see the aid?
Merit is in the admissions letter. Click on “View Update” to go to the letter.
I don’t know about need-based aid.
Ah ok so that means no merit and definitely not attending then.
Anyway:
Storrs Campus
OOS West Coast
3.9 UW GPA
Test optional
Relatively Light rigor in transcript due to life threatening medical condition.
It’s ok, she is has options and can only choose one school anyway!
