privatems: do you have any update on the Med GAP yet? I am anxiously waiting for any notification.

1006

Nothing. The confirmation email said on or before Dec 1st. Hang in there.

Any good leads for scholarships that arenā€™t based on need?

1008

When you updated the SRAR, did the application get a new submission date? In other words, did the school roll the app into a later acceptance round?

1009

Good question! I may urge my son to contact an AO about submitting his 1st quarter grades.

I donā€™t think so. We emailed the admissions counselor to let her know it was updated. I checked with the school to see if there was an opportunity to update the grades and they said yes. Not sure if it will make a difference or not. We had some other schools requiring the SRAR so it was updated for those anyway.

1011

How did you input 1st quarter grades? Did you put them in place of ā€œin progressā€ even though theyā€™re still in progress?

1012

DD did not submit test scores. She received $20k a year-Engineering.

Has anyone received a paper acceptance letter in the mail yet? My daughter was accepted 8/20 and hasnā€™t received anything in the mail, it just would make it feel more official!

1018

No I donā€™t think they send a paper letter but they do send the super cute personalized video

Sent in my sonā€™s first semester grades but was told he had to wait until January so they have a full half year of grades to review.

1021

Had they previously requested his mid year grades before you submitted Q1?

1022

@Hopetobeapittmom yeah did they ask for the grades in the first place?

1023

They did. They sent a letter in Oct for mid year grades. I misunderstood and sent 1st MP grades. So now we will have send 1st and 2nd MP grades in Jan. My older two kids went to Pitt and didnt need to submit mid year grades so not used to this. Fingers crossed just a formality. If they didnt accept him, would t they flat out reject him?

1024

I think they offer them a branch campus from what Iā€™ve seen
