DD accepted, from CA, no mention of merit. Has visited and likes a lot but would need merit. Sorry to those not getting good news and I’m sure there will be other great opportunities.

Hi! She is still waiting to hear on some RD. Accepted EA to Fairfield U with great merit, likely her top choice now. Still waiting on Syracuse, Fordham and a few public schools. Best of Luck to your son.

Those are awesome choices & always so great when it comes with a great Merit package! please post when she decides!

D25 was accepted with the Trustee Award. GPA is 4.2, strong leadership, LOR, essays! Visited campus in November and fell in love. The merit award makes it more doable now!

Waitlisted. But the semester abroad with guaranteed Spring acceptance is rather enticing. 3.8UW/4.0W.

Your child was waitlisted for Fall but offered Fall semester abroad and then admittance Spring semester?
