my daughter received her merit in the acceptance letter
How do you know about scholarship decision at Rutgers? I thought that the scholarship and honors decisions are not released yet. Do in-state students have different decision dates?
Read my post above.

I saw some people heard about the special program in law. I am waiting for special program in medicine. Does anyone know when that comes out? I had my interview about 2-3 weeks ago. I got into the honors and got 23k per year as well since it appears that the majority of the people are receiving that for oos.
My daughter is also waiting for the program in medicine. Seems like they did not really say at the interview when to expect a decision
Yes they did not say it at the interview. I expected it to come out during the same time that the university decision came out but it appears that is not the case. I do not want to email them as I do not want them to think I am rushing their decisions. I just want to make sure their have a acceptance/rejection letter for people that went to the interview since they did not send letters for those that got an interview or not.

They definitely notify you from what I have read on college confidential (maybe a thread from 2020 or 2021). People got actual letters in the mail sometime first or second week in March (with acceptance, waitlist or rejection). I was just wondering if someone knew of the process for this year

Im wondering this too. My son accepted to the ACES program at Avery Point. Would love to hear if anyone else is in the same boat.
Same boat but he got admitted to Avery Point. Super unclear as I try to search for more info. He applied to Storrs only for Comp sci or Business.
My daughter got Avery Point as well. She only applied for Storrs. English major (law school plans)

I’m starting a Facebook group for parents and students in the same boat (voluntarily or involuntarily) Avery Point. I’d love to get input from others.

Son was accepted to UConn but no merit, which surprised us. Since he was also accepted to Isenberg at UMass and that would be in-State rate for us, any insight on whether we might have any luck going back to UConn to negotiate? He prefers UConn but the $20k price differential seems hard to justify to me, at least based on what we know so far about the two schools. Thanks for any help.

The lack of clear information in the acceptance letter is surprising. I can’t figure out how long they need to stay at Avery Point. And there are no dorms there. But the website says there is also no transportation from Storrs. Then later I found that there are busses. ??
Would be great if they explained what being at a branch campus means and why the decision was made etc!
So happy for you!!
From the research I’ve done, they can live at Storrs but there is no transportation to Avery Point, only Hartford. They have to take at least half their credits at Avery Ooint and can take the other half at Storrs. I think they need 52 credits to switch to the Storrs campus but I’ve been hearing that they can apply to Storrs sooner than that. I need to dig deeper into that part.

Only way is to appeal through portal. From what I’ve heard very few get accepted/more money. But it never hurts to try

Isenberg is an amazing business program and ranked higher. I feel like both campuses are similar. Why not go for the less expensive better program?

So did all notices go out then ? My friend’s kid had tech issues Saturday and finally got into it this morning only to find no update on his portal.
