My son applied RD Dec. 29, accepted into honors March 3. Just called admissions today and according to the woman I spoke with, he will not be receiving any merit scholarships. Specifically, it appears this is because he applied so late. Sorry to to break it to any RD applicants still holding out hope. They only gave out merit scholarships to EA’s and some to those who got their applications in shortly after the EA deadline. This is really disappointing as our guidance counselor messed up and didn’t send in his transcripts in on time, so after missing the EA deadline he wasn’t in any hurry to complete the app. So now, I’m so wishing he had went ahead and sent the application in right away when the transcripts were sent. Also wish we would have known how very important the early app. was.
He’s ranked #1 in his class & 32 on SAT…not sure of his final GPA but all A’s.
