@thumper1 Not an ED. I ran several times within the last few months - using different GPA’s. From the people posting on this board, and from a friend of hers, it looks as if the money came with the acceptance letter.
No - it’s not guaranteed. But it was a main reason that I let her apply - it’s very expensive. Going from a total of a hopeful $80k to $0 is quite a difference. I’d be fine if it was anything more than $0.
We could make it work with a lot of pain (this part I don’t need help with) - I just want to know if there is a strategy of when to ask. Can it hurt to ask? I’m in new territory even though it’s by 3rd time around - my other 2 never were close to hoping for merit.
