@Petal12: We communicated via PM on April 21 & April 22. At that time you shared 11 schools to which you had applied. After reading that list, I was hesitant to suggest the University of Mississippi Honors College as you might not think that it was in the same category as the 11 schools to which you applied. (8 were Ivy League schools.) I then informed you about Ole Miss on April 22.
Then on May 6 & May 7 we discussed the meaning of URM.
Apparently, you may have been a bit overwhelmed with information & suggestions.
At Ole Miss, I suspect–but cannot assure you–that you would have received a very satisfactory financial package of scholarship awards. Some are automatic & some are discretionary.
For some reason. I preferred to share that information with you privately. Probably because I was fairly confident that the results would please you & that you privacy would be protected if you elected to attend Ole Miss.
Also, I shared that Ole Miss has great inspiration, instruction & opportunity for writers & writing–one of your interests.
