Does anyone know if early action decisions are released before December?

Hi! I was wondering if i’d be flat out rejected if I don’t have precalc on my transcript. I have a 3.7W, 5 AP’S, almost all honors and solid EC’S

Four units (years) of mathematics : in algebra 1, algebra 2, and geometry (or an equivalent of credits in integrated algebra and geometry), and 1 credit of pre-calculus, trigonometry, or calculus.

The College of Charleston admissions committee can consider applicants who have not taken all of these courses.

What was the merit offer if you don’t mind sharing. We are OOS as well and this is my DS top choice next year. I want to get an idea of what we might expect to receive. Thanks

Congratulations! Was that 24k/year merit or 6k/year over 4 years to total 24k?

In our case, $24K divided over 4 years. Good luck!

Yup, that is what it says on the deadline page…

Do you mind me asking how much the merit award was for out of state?

I posted above on this but in our instance, we received approximately $24K spread over 4 years! Good luck!

I see new info in the portal…a new login and scholarship info? Not an admission!
