@thumper1 . ok - so now we am on to something. It sounds as if I should be prepared to say she will matriculate if we can make the money work? I will talk to her tonight, but am 99.9% certain that will be the case. And that would be the best way to try to secure something? Is advice to do this earlier (this week) vs. later?
For sure she talked to people who went EA - as well as people on this board. The EA decisions came out Friday and everyone is posting about their included merit…
I did try to call, and they told me to email, so now I have time to formulate an email and what to say. And since this is now an email, is this something that I as a parent should still do since I’m the one who is paying vs. my D? She is trying to go for one of the scholarships they offer that isn’t as much grade related (leadership) but that’s competitive for sure. I just don’t want to ruin her chances for that by making too much noise.
And all - don’t get me wrong. I was just very surprised because I tried to be as conservative as could be when plugging in numbers, and don’t think we are entitled to anything. Just trying to make it work - just like everyone else.
