I just recently applied and got accepted into UT Dallas in April; however, I was not able to receive any scholarships from them, and I believe that is because I applied so late. I read that many of their scholarship deadlines were mid-march and the AES scholarship deadline was around December. My high school GPA was a 3.9 unweighted (4.9 weighted) and my SAT score was a 1480 so I feel like I would have had a good chance at a few scholarships here. I really want to go to UT Dallas for their excellent pre-med programs but as of now the cost is too much. I tried contacting their financial aid office but they just replied with a link to their financial aid website which I had already attempted to look at. Does anyone have any advice about what I should do? Is there any way to appeal these scholarship decisions or something like that? Thank you.
To be in the running for AES, you had to apply by a certain date in December.
Are you by any chance a National Merit Finalist? UTD offers a very big scholarship for that if you list them as your first choice.
If you applied in April, you were never that keen. This scholarships are desirable. Maybe you can explain why you are applying in April, and why that might not be an advantage for $$. I am not sure you would have got a big award though? What were your hoping for? AES has got more selective as it becomes more appealing.
Have you looked at Alabama?
I’ve recently contacted the AES department and was informed that they will not be accepting reconsideration review request. Thank you all for the advice and help.
