@2024Mama my son didn’t get anything from UNH in mailbox either. Sigh. I am a UNH undergrad; maybe that will help? Who knows. On to next week for decisions…enjoy the weekend!
My D was accepted to UNH a few weeks back got an email today saying financial aid was available online. She got a total of 300$ NH state grant. That’s it. Much different than some of her friends with much lower stats last year.
Has anyone got their financial aid info for Amherst??
@smithve $300? That’s laughably low.
I think they should consider changing EA to Priority or some other name that indicates those that apply before a certain “priority” date are considered first (over later submissions), but not necessarily all at one time, and not necessarily before typical regular submission deadlines…then, maybe the expectation (stress) might lessen. Whether it’s universally true or not, I think a lot of people consider “early action” applications as a way to know their result in a fair amount of time before other typical regular decision applications are due.
I’m sure a lot of people have checked last year’s thread and are aware they also had a 3 week gap for decisions. According to one post, someone was told by admissions that decisions were supposed to be out on Monday the 14th, but they were going to be delayed due to technical difficulties. They ended up coming out on Wednesday the 16th. This is the same timeline for us, so maybe tomorrow?? Unless they experience the same “technical difficulty” this year as they ran into last year. Wishing everyone luck for the outcome you’re hoping for!!!
Just curious what other schools those people who have been accepted are ultimately deciding between. My ds20 currently weighing Rutgers and UMass. Won’t be able to make a decision until he hears from UConn, UMD, and College of Charleston. UMass is first on my list for him, but ultimately we will let him decide.

My son (OOS) was accepted on 12/26 for CS with 16k scholarship. His need based aid recently posted- nothing but loans. So far none of his schools are coming anywhere near our EFC or taking into consideration that we have another child in college.
My daughter was accepted to Umaine prevet peogram (honors & flagship scholarship), Clark University (Goddard scholarship), University of Delaware, Providence College, Eckerd ($80k scholarship), and UMA (no honors or scholarship- in-state). She’s waiting on University of Florida but UMA is her top choice.
My DS was accepted to Delaware, Loyola of Maryland, Miami of Ohio, penn state and IU Kelley School. Still waiting on UMass and others. Rejected from OSU Fisher for Finance
@ccphtomom @Harding Congrats on your kiddos having so many choices!
that’s frustrating. I have 2 in college, my son will be a third as my oldest graduates, so 4 more years of double tuition. I wish more schools took this into account.
thank you so much! Your son has some good options too! Hope he hears soon.
a person’s EFC is directly impacted by how many children you have in college… the only way to fully leverage that is to apply to private schools that meet 100% demonstrated need. Public school’s are already almost half the price, compared to privates, so they can’t offer the same kind of need based aid. If my kid were to decide to go to Colby College, it would cost less money than UMass Amherst for us
Let’s see what this week brings…
Thanks CTcape!
Here we go! I think tomorrow will be the day. Good luck to you all.
Im hoping today or tomorrow!
Thank you for this post. I looked up private schools that do this. There are a few on that list that my third child is interested in so that will be very helpful when it’s her turn.
here’s hoping for some results in the next 15 minutes… good luck everyone
