<p>I didn’t qualify for financial aid so I have no idea what the process is. I do know that it’s extremely rare, if not unheard of, for incoming freshmen to get merit scholarships; Binghamton doesn’t really do that. Apparently in the past, everyone in the scholars program got a full ride, but now there’s no money associated with it. Based on your stats (35 and 4.0) I’d say it’s really likely you’ll get an email to apply to the scholars program if you choose to come here.</p>
