Don't count on ANY merit aid....

Although I had heard from various sources that you shouldnt expect any merit aid at UW-Madison, I still thought I would receive SOMETHING, but I guess I had to learn it the hard way. I got an email yesterday saying that I had not received a scholarship. I am a National Merit Finalist with a 34 ACT, 4.0 UW/4.5 W GPA, good extracurricular and volunteer involvement, and I spent countless hours perfecting my essays. I am extremely disappointed, but its not going to change my decision to attend UW-Madison.
