<p>Last year, My D was offered WMP. The problem was that there is no financial aid to cover it, and at $25,000 for a semester, we couldn’t do that! She is very happy at her chosen U, but it took a little while to get over the disappointment. My question last year was, if she was a good enough candidate to be in for WMP and spring admittance, was that better or worse than waitlisted for fall admittance? We had been told there was no chance WMP students would be admitted for fall, yet waitlisted kids still had that chance…
Last year, my D was confused as well with this offer. If the program is so great, why aren’t applicants told about it as a possibility, and asked if they would like to be considered as a box to check on the application??? To be offered out of the blue, when the student applied for fall admission, but not be able to use financial aid because you are technically not a matriculated student yet, is tough to process!</p>
