Whatismygpa

Hey, Fauves. Thanks for the info. I listed 13 units for Fall and 13 for Spring. So that's not it. I wonder what it can be because from what I have gathered they award almost everyone with at least something. And my financial need is huge, so those 5-6 thousands are make it or break it for me. Did anyone else receive any scholarships guys? Thanks for your input.

What - you did apply for the GS scholarship, right?

I sure did. I applied right after I turned the first part of my application in. Did you get a scholarship too?

Whatismygpa

I just called Financial Aid Office. They haven't processed any of the scholarship applications yet. I am assuming you guys were early decision and they already finished it for those folks. I am a regular decision transfer. Well, I guess I won't find out any time soon. Thanks for your reply tho.

Fauves

Yes, I was EA, that explains it.

I also received a new student scholarship (7800) and, like Fauves, I was an EA.

Hey, I got the phone call almost 2 weeks ago saying I was admitted, but still no package. How long did it take you guys?

ChaunceyB

Passer: I'd give them a call, if I were you. I got my package the very next day.

Passer: I received the package few days after receiving the e-mail. But, then again, I'm from another country. So, I'd go with Chauncey and I'd give them a call.

Hello - new to the forum. Very stoked about GS in the Fall.

For those with housing approval/assignments:

just wondering when you applied for housing. and did you have to submit your acceptance and deposit before you heard back from UAH?

Hey everyone! Got a phone call today from admissions to clarify a few things about my academic past. Just took about 10 minutes to ask a few questions about my goals and study habits.Not really sure what that means? Did anyone get a call like this? Then how long from then until you got acceptance/rejection notice? Mail, email, or phone notice?

Thanks! (fingers crossed)

Ryancnyc

Nevermind... Just got accepted

have all the scholarship applications been processed already? i see a "new student special scholarship" in my financial aid. does that mean i'm out of luck for a "named" scholarship? lol

Whatismygpa

Unfortunately, I am afraid so. From what I have gathered from a conversation with Daniel is that you can either get a named scholarship or a newly admitted scholarship, but not both. In my case he said that since I got a named scholarship, I can't get the new student one.

Ryancnyc- congrats! I had couple questions and would appreciate it if you can reply!

- When did you exactly apply and for what major?
- What were your stats generally? (gpa, where are you transferring from, etc)
