This year’s process has been very frustrating. So inconsistent and unpredictable. GPAs are so inflated with the majority of high schools going pass/fail for about a year. Our student got accepted but received zero merit. It wasn’t near the top of our list so we’ll likely be passing. Still waiting on a few others.

Same here, accepted to Engineering @ Storrs, no merit. Texas kid wants to be in the NE, but I don’t think the money will be there to get her there. Looking like we are down to Hofstra, Ohio State, Tennessee, LSU and Mizzou, with Mizzou most likely right now, but holding out for all of the scholarships to come in.

Same -no merit, OOS…Seriously looking at Ohio State too rn…its such a phenomenal school. They also do an amazing job catering to their freshman!!

Daughter was accepted to Storrs in state, but zero merit. She received merit from Ohio State making it comparable. She is also in at Purdue which has similar costs (and a tuition freeze). Both are better for her major anyways, so she will not be attending UConn. UConn sadly is not a good value in state.

So is it safe to assume that if no merit was given with the acceptance letter then no merit will be given unless an appeal is made. There’s no staggered merit announcement?
Daughter accepted.
Instate

That’s what we are assuming fairly confidently. For all D23’s other acceptances it’s either been everyone hears up front or every hears later - not a mix
You should prob ask the school to be sure though
I love reading these threads - it has definitely opened my eyes. The grumblings I have heard from OOS applicants (in this case NY) is that UConn seems to give most merit to instate CT however, I heard a lot of people instate state the opposite. There seems to be no distinct reasoning behind the way merit is decided… not just at UConn but many of these schools!!

I’m late to the party but some people were asking for in-state so here it is!
Accepted (in-state)
Computer Science (School of Engineering)
Storrs campus
3.99 UW/ 4.7 W (with a grain of salt, my school’s GPA scale is very weird)
10 APs, 3 ECE (UConn courses u can take in high school), 14 honors.
robotics, IT internship and volunteering, nhs, student body rep., model un, part time tech job
Presidential scholarship (full tuition) + STEM Scholar (Honors program, 10k/year scholarship)
Was very confused when I saw out of state people were getting higher scholarships but just realized UCONN out of state tuition is insanity
Congrats to everyone else who got in!

My friend’s son did not have an update in his portal. Did you call admissions? He did not as far as I know.
I emailed them today but they haven’t replied yet
I don’t think its weird, only because an admissions rep told my son that decisions would be out March 1st (I was surprised that decisions came out a few days ago tbh). I am sure you will hear soon ! 
Yea same I thought they were gonna announce it march 1st.
I hope so
Could be an urban myth but I heard many many in state business majors were branched first - any truth to this?

This is severely false. Instate rarely get merit and rarely get main campus
