<p>@grizzly32 Thank you…what seems to be the general stats for people who have already received merit money? My son’s letter just stated that he would be notified of scholarship funds at the end of March.</p>
<p>@grizzly32, Do you know people who only received Singer invitation? I thought everyone who is invited was interviewing for both the Stamp and Singer.</p>
<p>For people who are still checking and saying they haven’t gotten it, go to your Student Center and scroll to the bottom. Admissions is right under Personal Info and your decision should be there. </p>
<p>@boyer3 personally my stats were: 4.3 weighted, 3.9 unweighted, 34 ACT, 8/450 class rank and 150+ hours of community service! The other posters with merit info seem to be in the 30s for ACT with fairly high gpas, but I can’t say for sure, I would recommend looking through this thread to see what the exact states were!</p>
<p>@4beardolls I think I remember seeing a few people with just singer invites, but I could be mistaken. I do know that the first weekend is Stamp/Singer and then the next two weekends are solely singer weekends, but perhaps those invites haven’t been sent out yet?</p>
<p>@grizzly32 Thank you…looks like my son was just a hair shy…uw gpa 3.8, 32 ACT</p>
<p>@boyer and @grizzlly32. Yes, I went to communications and then printed out the acceptance letter which only referenced academic award decision made in a March…kind of disappointed since DS got already large Award and Honors from Tulane among others. so, without large award we will not attend or even bother visiting…oh well…it’s ok, you can only attend one school anyway, and there are so many great schools. </p>
<p>Mine is still not there. I have checked communication center and I have gone to student center and looked under Personal Information. :(</p>
<p>Still have nothing as well. Pathetic job by miami admissions.</p>
<p>@grizzly32, that makes sense. I do recall only one weekend was for both scholarships.</p>
