i did as well, with one telling me my scholarship and the other saying i still had things to submit for the IDOC. i submitted those things rught away so could i still get more need based money?
daughter has never had less than an A so canāt really improve on grades. nothing new to add since covid has prevented activities. should the loci just emphasize intent?
Thatās great. Follow up with the Fin Aid office. That happened with my daughter, a junior at UM now. Youāll just get your award a little later.

She will most likely be admitted RD with those stats. The admission process is so random. My daughter with very similar stats was deferred from Tulane and admitted to Miami with full scholarship.
My son was admitted to Tulane and Miami with about the same scholarship 12-15kā¦more from Tulaneā¦interestingā¦maybe the major plays a role?

yes, definitely let them know still top choice if admitted. You can include still maintaining an strong A average while taking rigorous course load (APās etc) community service? awards? work? anything to help application. additional LOR
Yes - She actually attended the last campus info session/tour held before the admissions office shut down at the beginning of the pandemic (last March). Attended virtual college visit at her high school and at least one additional program virtually after that. Filled out legacy formā¦
She was already leaning toward one of the schools that already accepted her, especially with the scholarship offer she has, but we are pretty surprised that she didnāt get accepted here during EA.

Does an LOCI really mean anything when they invite you to choose ED2 but you opt for RD? D isnāt choosing ED2 b/c we are in that no-manās land where we donāt qualify for aid, but it would be brutal to pay full ride at UM (especially after other schools have offered big merit). Maybe itās all moot anyway; so many really qualified kids got deferred; they canāt possibly take them all in April.

I feel really similarly as a student; I am torn because my heart wants to do ED II to show interest and get a decision before my break to visit schools, but I ultimately know I donāt qualify for need-based and I donāt know what could happen with merit.

They have 2100 spots, but all schools accept more kids than that since many accepted wonāt attend.

The same thing happened to me - they said I hadnāt submitted my tax returns even though I did. I wonder if I should contact the financial aid office to see what the issue is.
Sorry to be a pain, but UM website says a notification email WILL go out. Have people received this??
not yet
