My son was accepted into the Xavier University Honors program yesterday so that was great news to start off the long weekend. Current price is one of our highest COA’s @ $33K but potential for some extra merit and I believe they are open to appeals so not counting it out.
We are still waiting on the Pitt decision. Applied 11/30 so hoping we hear by the end of the month 
Financial aid (including any merit) will be released for Fordham beginning 1/17 on a rolling basis so hoping we get ours soon. We will probably get some FA, but it’s such a high price tag so we aren’t feeling too hopeful it will be a realistic choice. My son didn’t get the full tuition award for National Hispanic Merit Scholar from Fordham (apparently those are announced with the admission letter) which was a long shot anyway, but hoping to get some merit with FA.
We are counting down the days for Northeastern EA (I’m hearing 1/25?) which is his top choice.
He has 3 scholarship essays due tomorrow 1/15, one due 1/20, and a few more (plus a music supplement) due Feb. 1st. He’s doing well with the deadlines, but a little stressed. He has a gymnastics meet in New Orleans so we will be there 1/19-1/23 which will be fun but not an ideal time to miss school at the end of the quarter, although he spoke with teachers and said everything was fine. He’s doing well, all grades above 95, so not too worried about it. My daughter attends Loyola in New Orleans so excited to see her during our visit!
Have a great weekend everyone!
