Any acceptances yet?

Thanks. Mine was accepted on 9/9 generally (nursing decisions are released in March). When my 2020 high school grad applied, the turnaround time was like two days for a decision. This time around, it was more like two weeks.

Applied 9/2, accepted 9/23. English OOS

Has anyone received any notice about merit scholarship? Wondering when to expect these.

My D recently got a letter (dated 10/1) that notified her of a scholarship because she got that College Board National Scholar Award (or whatever it’s called – not National Merit, but one of the College Board awards). The amount is $12k per year. It’s also in her portal under Admissions Profile > Scholarships/Financial Aid > Award Notification.

My daughter applied 9/3, accepted 9/19, received National Scholar Award 10/1 for $14k per year. Does anyone know if the $3,000 National Merit Scholarship will stack with this?
