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?

Any mention of Honors Program?

She didn’t apply…. At least not yet.

Hi all, my daughter applied for Honors right at the deadline :laughing:. How long did it take for your kids to hear back after they applied?
