Son got in! We were so surprised to see the email . We thought end of Jan for sure.

Wonderful holiday surprise. Received a merit scholarship but will need to wait for the full financial Aid package to see if it’s doable.

My son got in too. He’s also a medalist. Just wondering if any non-medalists got in already. So exciting!!!

Waiting on an EA decision over here.

Was about to ask if there are others still waiting.

I heard that they released a portion of EA decisions early, but that the majority will come by the original notification date. I’m not sure if there was any reasoning to who got an early response.

Congratulations to the acceptances.

For those received a merit scholarship, does the students have to be nominated by the high school first for the medal?

From the NPC page, it seems to award merit to those without the medal.

Thanks

was it all medalists who found out early?

I’m not sure - my daughter was a medalist and was accepted, but I don’t know if that has anything to do with why she found out early.

I don’t recall seeing any mention of my son being a medalist in his acceptance letter. He did get a renewable 4 year merit scholarship (38k/yr). I will have to check later
