Good question @JeanneAP !
The website does not provide an answer.
does anyone know what time on thursday it will be posted?
hi there- i got an email informing me that financial aid will be sent in march.
@emmajjjaneee
Do you know if that is applicable for merit/scholarship $ as well?
Vermont seems to typically release merit the same day or next day after the decisions.
I would think that their net price calculator would give you a good idea on merit as it does ask for specific statistics.
@lexluthor5
It does but unsure if GPA is weighted or not and it can make a $4K a year difference which is not chump change.
But, great if they inform that quickly on merit. i am finding many wait until the announce the whole financial aid package (based on what i am hearing as my D has only heard back from one school which does it that way).
The colleges must do it as weighted. How else could they evenly compare applicants?
Our problem with the npcs is that our hs is on a 100 point scale, so we don’t know how each school converts to 4.0.
@lexluthor5
Yes, you kind of are making my point as my D’s school does not weight their grades. They only provide an unweighted GPA.
Cost was important ( total $31k) grant plus scholarship. The Rubenstein environmental program has a great program. There is a 3 plus 2 BS plus JD law option at UVM. Student to faculty ratio a consideration as rubenstein only takes 160 freshman with 6 majors. Finally, I have family in Vermont. And yes Burly is fabulous. She’s been to Montreal, Philadelphia for a conference, hiking for her math class, she lives in the sustainability dorm with a roommate from Stowe and they have a nice group of friends. Her grades are good and she loves her classes. Looking forward to her coming home to warm up this week. Good luck!
Oh and UVM has a very involved and supportive parents Facebook page. It’s truky been a blessing this far away. Fabulous gro
2 days!!
if I qualify for the presidential scholarship on their net price calculator does that give me a decent chance for acceptance?
@goingclassof2023
Yes and it means that you have a good chance for the scholarship (albeit not a guarantee).
Does anyone know what time on Thursday decisions will be posted?
The merit scholarship came with the acceptance and the entire package came later in the early spring. When that happened, the net price pushed UVM ahead of many choices.
I applied EA hoping to get into honors college

Need based aid will be released between mid February and mid March depending on EA or RD.
If all the information you put into the net price cal is correct, AND you have strong academics, have met all entrance requirements, and have a strong senior year, I believe so, yes! Wishing you well in the admissions process!
