Yes, admitted (11/7) with merit (11/24). The honors interest box had disappeared after acceptance. It returned this morning.

Same here. Hope itâs soon!
Same on all fronts! It will be such a relief when we have all the info for all the schools and the kids can actually decide!

My son (Economics major) received his acceptance letter (he was EA, applied in September) on November 7. He received $7,00 merit letter on 11/28 (In state - $28,000k total). He is a 4.0 uw GPA and 4.17 weighted (this will go up at midyear grade reports). He took 5 APs and received 5s. He is taking 3 more this year, plus has 4 dual enrollment. His portal was updated with the same message about Honors College today. I am hoping that we hear in December. March is a long time - so many other colleges will be sending offers before then. Good luck everyone! Waiting is the hardest!

Last year they started letting people know about honors mid-December, but not many. Seems a lot more heard in the January/February timeframe. The waiting is definitely the hardest part. I think they probably wait a little to see who drops off after ED decisions or EA decisions from other schools come through. Good luck to you. Your son sounds like an excellent candidate for honors so I bet youâll hear soon!

OOS admitted to mechanical.engineering tonight. Test optional. Will need to wait on merit to see if its feasible but seems like it would be a good fit

Amazing!
Congrats!! 
Could the OOS folks who have already gotten merit remind me what their accepted student portal looked like initially and what happened next? Based on what Iâve read, my kid SHOULD get merit when using his recalculated GPA on a 5 point scale (with +.5 for Honors, +1 for APs, etc), but his school doesnât award quality points for Honors classes so his transcript GPA looks meaningfully lower that the recalculated and that makes me nervous.
I believe most colleges use unweighted since different high schools weigh grades very differently.
Iâm wondering the same thing. My daughter has a 4.0 unweighted. Her school doesnât weight anything, but sheâs doing a full IB diploma so highest rigor possible. Iâm kind of assuming that bumps her up to 5.0 on the UD scale but would love to have more certainty.
I guess we will know for sure at some point!
