Honors College Yet?

mom2collegekids…

My D tried the email address that you sent by pm and guess what? She got a response the very next day! It was actually a message on the answering machine and then an email to D, verifying the scholarship. It wasn’t from the person she sent the email to, but Ms. Rogers- the person she had contacted originally. (She was the one that first told D that she would not hear anything until mid-March.)

We still don’t know for sure what happened with the mix up, but on one email from the honors college D noticed that they had the wrong zip code. It is ok now, but she thought the original scholarship info might not have reached her because of that mistake? Like you said, it seemed like the scholarship office was assuming we had that info already.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for your suggestions and encouragement. Ironically, in the process of waiting to clear this up, D heard about an alumni scholarship at her in state safety and then another large scholarship at a school that said she wan’t admitted yet ? (This is the one she applied to when she got nervous about Alabama.) She wanted to know how that was even possible! And then she got an early admit at another university that she didn’t even know admitted early (of course, no financial information yet)…so she had an exciting week or so.

I was worried that she had totally given up on Alabama, but now that the scholarship issue has been straightened out, she is as enthusiastic as ever.

And mom2…we were so sorry to hear about your friends and what went on up in your neck of the woods recently. We hope that the healing process is well underway with the passage of time.

Thanks again for everything. You are an amazing resource for prospective UA families and it is much appreciated!
