@gherbss Follow “withdraw application” link on portal under admissions tab.
@katbel Is D a Massachusetts resident? Was cost or choice of major the main factor?
@jdcollegedad She is not a MA resident (we’re in AZ). UMass will cost a little more than UConn would have. She decided to major in nursing rather go the pre-med or PA route, and was accepted to UMass as a nursing major and UConn as a biology major so that she’d have options.
Just want to share something when my son was a freshman besides his merit he did not qualify for financial aid. However, sophomore year when the tuition increased nine hundred dollars they gave him that back in aid. Now junior year increase of seven hundred they gave that back in aid as well.
@mrs806 IS or OOS?
in state
Thanks. I suspect they would not do that for OOS
I am not sure. They definitely do cater to the in state students that do well for sure.
@jdcollegedad we are in the same position. With the increase U Conn is 5k more than Rutgers and U Del, TCNJ is the cheapest right now, even for OOS
@jdcollegedad , I am curious…are we supposed to withdraw application after being accepted if we don’t plan to attend? I thought if you don’t plan to attend, you simply don’t make the enrollment deposit. I am referring to your post #980. Thank you. I am a newbie at this.

Accepted to Storrs earlier this week!
Stats:
GPA: ~3.1 (unweighted), no complete honors or APs, actually left high school before completion and got a GED
Residency: in state
1 recommendation from an employer
(UConn is one of my safety schools, Storrs was first choice campus)
@RJA You can simply not put down a deposit. Or you can do the school a favor and let them know you won’t attend, so they can consider others for the spot.
Does anyone have need aid showing up yet, or just loans?
@lankfordmath We have need not covered by scholarships and received loans, but no additional grants.
No additional need other than the Leadership scholarship. As a Oos Student, the Parent Loan was listed at 33K and the Student loan was listed at 5,500. Since UConn is a safety school, we are probably going to turn down the offer. I think UConn Storrs slots will open up for Students waiting on Ivy Day.

Break down of fees.
Accepted to Storrs Statistics earlier this week, 1420 SAT, 4.0W/3.7UW GPA, really strong “personality” on application including a lot of leadership and a strong personal essay. In state and received 7500 in scholarship. Do not know if this means I made honors college but I don’t plan to attend so I didn’t check.
Honestly, the date being so late really shaped my decision. I was up for the Nutmeg so my application had to be in by November 1 and I didn’t hear anything regarding that until January or February (obviously didn’t get it lol) and then no admissions decision until March. I already got involved at my other school, have had admitted student and major-specific events, made some friends, etc. after hearing from them in December 2018. I understand a lot goes into it but it was incredibly obnoxious and really made me feel they couldn’t care less (I mean, geez, my admissions decision was a table! Lol).
@Hope4414 Congratulations on finding a college that you are happy with and that made you feel welcome. UConn is a solid school, but is a large public university. Good luck in your first year.
@jdcollegedad The university I will be attending next year is also public and larger than UConn. I also applied to one larger public university in Europe for the fun of it and they got back to me in weeks. I think the problem with UConn admissions comes with one office having to handle four or five different campuses, which is a lot of juggling for counselors.
