OOS Accepted, Chancellors Award of $14k and no honors college. Honestly, my DS has a 4.2 Weighted GPA and a 1450 SAT, a little disappointed that he got the lower scholarship amount and no honors college.

OOS Isenberg - 4.3 weighted with 1500 SAT. Chancellor’s $18K but no Honors College which was a little surprising

OOS Admitted with $16K/year Chancellor’s scholarship

Weird thing is that the admit is neither for his first choice (Finance) nor alt major (Management). He got admitted to Managerial Economics which is under school of social and behavioral sciences. Has this happened to anyone?

GPA 3.89 UW/4.29 W

SAT: 1450
ECs: Average ECs (clubs etc), strong record of volunteering for non-profits, some part time work experience/entrepreneurship
Rigor: 6 APs / 3 DEs /1 Honors classes

My impression from last year’s thread was that merit and honors appeared to be determined independently (honors not necessarily correlated with highest merit), and honors seemed tougher to get.

Waitlisted OOS Nursing boo! Seems hard to get off waitlist too.

Son was waitlisted - OOS for Engineering. Surprised as we thought this was a target. Perhaps going TO worked against him.
