Our son was granted an extremely generous scholarship, by far the largest of the 13 schools that he applied to and was accepted into. Bolton Scholorship for 13,500 and CWRU Grant for 22,720 totaling over 36 K. With another 8 in Fed loans and work study, our cost would be the remainder of the 66,928… certainly an attractive offer.
He is a white, varsity football/lax player, marching band, honor student. Took ACT once, 29. Didn’t submit SAT. Didn’t take SAT2’s. Excellent recommendation, well liked and a real team player. That’s it…no President of any clubs, never tutored, never volunteered. Just an all around great kid and student and team player. Accepted into 3 PA programs and 10 Nursing, all with money except for Ohio State, would have been his first choice, because we didn’t even apply to schools until almost December. Will likely commit to UConn, which is really the perfect choice for him all around. Will say Thank You to Penn State, OSU, Miami, Tampa, Towson, Seton Hall, St. John’s, Hofstra, UMass Amherst, Northeasternand MCPHS.
