What is EOP/HEOP?

<p>How can one be qualified for it? Does it give an advantage to admission?</p>

<p>If you applied ED with EOP/HEOP, did you get notified? how?</p>

<p>Well first off , you need to be a New York State resident and meet the income eligibility guidelines set by NYS. There are exceptions to the guidelines, which are online. It is a MAJOR advantage in admission. I did apply ED, but not through HEOP so I can not tell tell how you get notified. </p>

<p>Be inadmissible under regular admission.</p>

<p>what does that mean?</p>

<p>pretty much that you can not be TOO smart. From what I understand and have heard is that HEOP students have lower grades and sat scores than the average applicant or accepted student.</p>

<p>So if my economic meets but i have a 2120, am I qualified?</p>

<p>I already sent in my app, and I checked EOP. Will this give me an advantage? or disadvantage?</p>

<p>i don't know...i think they look more at gpa (although sat/act certainly does play a role) when deciding academic eligibility. additionally, i think school environment plays a part as well.</p>

<p>^ yea I think mrs is right, but remember that a 2120 is definitely considered admissible for Cornell. That is just my own opinion though. I would call for myself to find out what they consider inadmissible . Good Luck</p>

<p>actually i was accepted through ED. I think my grades, sat, ECs are fine. 91ish avg. 2120. good amount of Aps, well known school. BUT I did check off that EOP (big mistake). So what's on my mind is:</p>

<p>did i get accepted through EOP?</p>

<p>Did you get your FA package, yet? Did they invite you for their summer program?</p>

<p>nope, no invites. just a plain sheet with estimates on it.</p>

<p>Well from what I hear is that HEOP students do not get loans or federal work study. Do you have those?</p>

<p>yea i got CU loan and some other loans. and i got the federal work study program.</p>

<p>yea i am thinking that you did not get in through HEOP/EOP. You're grades and SATs are too good, for HEOP. Do not take my word for it, though. I would call up the HEOP office. Did you get a lot of money? if you do not mind me asking.</p>

<p>they did meet my needs. tuition costs 50 000 and my family and i contribue 15 000. so is that a lot of money? a lot of it is loans too. like 10 000ish.</p>

<p>wait you meet the economic guidelines for HEOP? If so and have to pay 15,000, there must be a problem, unless you own a lot of properties and so on.</p>

<p>sorry, i exaggerated. i pay 2,250, parents pay 10,250. my dad owns a company.</p>

<p>^ okay.. that explains a lot. It is still a great package, though. Good Luck!</p>

<p>So, did i get in through EOP or did I get in like any other regular ED applicant?</p>

<p>I think you are a regular. First off most EOP students were deferred and second you got loans and work study which is not the case for first year EOP students. Your stats were good too. This is from what I hear, i would confirm it though.</p>
