Franklin & Marshall Class of 2028 Official Thread

We received the invite and attended the webinar.

Did any of the admitted students get a Diplomat Leadership Scholarship? My son applied for the diplomat scholarship and did get 15k in merit, but we didn’t hear anything about the diplomat. Just curious….

Yes, DD was accepted to the Diplomat Leadership program. received notification in package, and a separate email about the program.

Will you receive a package after you are accepted?

And just got a 2nd email reminder today

Good to know! Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately, financial aid not enough for my son to join F&M. Will decline and hope this opens up a spot for someone deserving. F&M is a fabulous school in all respects… except, in my case, affordability. ha

Got waitlisted in Franklin and Marshall college. Any chance of getting in from waitlist?

Good news! She got in with enough merit, grants, and aid to make it affordable. Very excited!

My son was waitlisted. Considering they said they only take 25-30 kids off the waitlist, we’ll let this one go.

Same. Affordable for the first two years but we need to work out the second two years after siblings graduate from college. Need aid will definitely be reduced when that happens. We’ll need to make a few calls to the FinAid office before we can make a decision.

Anyone has fixed number about students on the waitlist?

Waitlisted. D was disappointed about this one & feels worried she will not get in anywhere beyond her safety.
