@holychild and @chickmate3 Thanks! We live a little more than an hour from UB and I think that the US mail was able to deliver the letter to us in two days. Hopefully your kids will receive an envelope with some great news in today’s mail.
For those that didn’t get it, BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOUR STUDENT. I really mean this. I speak from experience as we have been there. Our older son didn’t even make it to interview stage back when he applied for this very competitive scholarship in January of 2018. More than likely, your son or daughter was already accepted into UB and the Honors program and was recognized by UB with a very generous merit award. Our experience is that UB is very generous in offering merit awards to hard working students with excellent academics and test scores. Even without a Presidential Scholarship, UB was our daughters top choice based upon program curriculum, research opportunities, Honors, clubs, campus life, and cost.
GO BULLS!
