hello, hello5!
Not sure whether Drew is using the same timelines as in past years, but I think my D (Class of 2011) heard around Christmas.

My son heard right before the holiday's too...I would think it would take that long to look them all over. At that time, all his EA's were by Christmas or the first of the new year.

My s got accepted also with a 12,000 merit scholarship. It's not as much as he received from other schools and frankly with his stats I thought he'd get more. We' ll just have to wait and see. It just goes to show you never know!

Hello5, the awards now can be "tweaked" later. I've heard of that more than once. Did they just tell you the merit aid or did they calculate the need-based money also?

My congrats as well to people who have gotten into Drew via Priority App!
Debruns is right. The financial aid package may be adjusted a bit later. In the meantime, students should also investigate and apply for some of Drew's separate merit awards, if it's not too late to do so. For example, my D applied for and got a Presidential Scholarship in the Arts. These can run as high as $10K. Finally if a student is really interested in Drew, I suspect there may be some room for negotiation this year. Many LACs are concerned that they will be looking at smaller classes as a result of the financial meltdown.

Thanks for the information. May I ask, how is the "tweaking" intitated? My son has won some creative writing awards, so the other scholarship is a possibility ( if I can get him to apply himself to apply)........

You can call or send extra things in after emailing. Sometimes need-based isn't given until after your latest Fafsa is in.
Ours wasn't changed, but my son said a student there said he really wanted to go and they needed a little more, etc. and he got it. I don't think it is usually large amounts but as one mom put it, 5,000 a year more isn't a lot to some but over 4 years it is significant to me!

That is a great package,Yourmom, one of the largest merit scholarships they have. I don't know if you sent your scores, but I do like that Drew gives merit scholarships to applicants that don't, but have great grades and other criteria. Many other SAT optional don't. It isn't something most students discuss in college, but it came up over lunch one day and my son said, "At least the president puts his money where his mouth is" and it just isn't lip service. This student received 20.000.

I don't think we would qualify for need-based aid now, but by February--who knows!

yeah i sent scores, and tbh, i wouldn't consider going to a school of Drew's caliber unless they offered me full tuition because i do have the grades/scores/etc.. to get into better schools, but if all else fails, and b/c Drew is close, i might go there
