Hopefully your son has heard from business scholars:) Good luck:)
Still nothing!! They say decision was made but they can’t see what decision is until it’s released and they can’t release it so they put in a ticket-sounds like bad news
This is crazy! Especially since they are saying the decision has been made. If they can tell him that a decision is made…then just tell him the decision. 
Finally heard back. He did not get into any of the scholars programs which is disappointing. I guess he only expressed interest in pretty competitive programs. So now we wait to hear about the LLC I suppose. is your son attending?
Ugh. My son released his seat 2 days ago for OSU:( He was really torn, and we loved OSU and got into Business Scholars, which he was so excited about, but didn’t get any merit. It was a really frustrating experience, to be honest. It really doesn’t make sense to me that someone like your child, who is very high stats and received merit, but didn’t get into Business Scholars, but my child did, but didn’t get merit. It’s all so frustrating. My son just finally had to make the right financial choice since we are OOS and just didn’t make sense to pay full price for OSU, even though we love Fisher.) We continued to look at other colleges, and we attended admitted students day last Friday at JMU, and he really fell in love with their College of Business and campus. I wish we had looked at James Madison University earlier! Everything just checked all the boxes for him there.
I am sure there are a lot of kids who were accepted into the Business Scholars Program who are now releasing their seats. Might I suggest your son write an email and send a copy of his resume expressing his interest in Business Scholars? That is what my son did early on. He has a great resume with business-related extracurriculars, lots of dual enrollment business classes, and maybe that is why he got into Business Scholars. Just a suggestion, and maybe ask to be added to the waitlist for business scholars. It sounds like he deserves a business scholars seat:)
Wishing your son all the best and good luck!!!
Thank you for the suggestion. I will recommend he do that. The whole thing makes little sense and I agree is super frustrating. I’m sure your son is very deserving of merit money as well. Good luck to him at JMU. Everyone I know who goes there, loves it.
