To all the waitlisted candidates,
Anyone heard from Conncoll about anything? Any news? Also, are you guys still trying for Conncoll?
Anyone? Anything?
My D was contacted Tuesday the 24th by the Director of Admissions and advised there may be a place for her. Waiting for further info now.
@BasicElmo exactly what did they say? Did your D apply for aid?
My D was told that there was exciting news and that there may be a place open for her. They asked if she was still interested. After she replied that she was, she was told she would be contacted by the person who was handling the waiting list. We don’t qualify for subsidized loans, so we will be looking carefully at any merit aid that is given. We were surprised that she was contacted prior to the May 1st deadline for the admitted students to confirm their acceptances.
@BasicElmo congrats to your D. Did she apply for need based aid? If yes then did Conncoll mention anything about her aid package? How much they are willing to give? Also can you share your d’s profile?
@Star980: We haven’t received a formal offer of admission yet, so no word on financial aid. We submitted the FAFSA and CSS, but have no expectations of any need-based aid. None of the other LACs she was accepted to offered need-based aid. Merit scholarship award, if any, would be all we could expect and will be an important consideration. Her SAT scores are good, but if she gets in it won’t be because she aced the SAT. GPA is a bit under 4.0 unweighted. She holds dual nationality, bilingual, born, raised and currently living in a middle income Asian country that is not over-represented in LACs in the US. Attends private, international high school that uses US curriculum. Has had two summer research assistant experiences at prestigious institutions, one here and one in the US. Started a conservation club at her high school. Other ECs as well.
Anyone else got any news from Conn? Anyone?
Any internationals on the waitlist receive anything yet? What’s the difference between the aid package received by those that were accepted RD and those accepted from the waitlist in the previous years?
@sedlyf I am an international student too and no I didn’t get any news? Did they tell you anything? Any news?
