fourisenough Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Okay, I can finally chime into this discussion. I've been reading and quietly celebrating everyone's successes as they are posted. Great work!  My DD17, a senior in PS (homeschooled through 8th) has been accepted with merit scholarships as a nursing major at all of the following:  Case Western Reserve University Hope College Xavier University Florida Southern College  She was admitted into Butler University's direct-admit Physician Assistant program.  Still waiting on admissions decisions from (but really, they're both WAY too big for her preferences): University of Michigan New York University  And the winner is...Florida Southern College. She committed to swim there this week. She's thrilled with the very generous merit scholarship, small size, and very competitive Div. 2 swim team (which trains in an outdoor pool year-round - a real novelty to this upper-midwest girl who is used to her hair freezing solid on the way home from practice).  We had ALMOST lost hope that we could find a school that was a good fit for her academically, athletically, and financially. Whew! One down and three to go...  24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in VA Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 DD was accepted to Marymount University today. She has applied to an undergraduate/graduate combination program which has a separate acceptance from the admission to the University. We are still waiting for that decision.

3XBlessed Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ds received a second acceptance, UC Irvine, for Campuswide Honors Program. Â The UCI email notification was actually sent to him yesterday but it went to his Spam folder by mistake. Thanks to Sebastian's thread on "Application Lessons Learned" to check portals for possible missing items, I asked ds to check all portals and forward all email notifications to me. He had gotten into the habit of ignoring college emails, thinking they were just more marketing reminders to apply or consider their college. So have your dc check on emails, portals, and Spam folder. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are anxiously awaiting a financial aid packet, but don't have our hopes up because we've been told by a high school counselor in Detroit that U-Mich is notoriously stingy.

It was one of the ugliest set of numbers we crunched.   Since I live in WA, I never looked at the out-of-state tab there, but I was curious and checked. U-dub is not the worst on the west coast, that award goes to Berkeley. Michigan is also worse than UW for OOS tuition costs:  On-campus, out-of-state cost of attendance:  Michigan 57,432 Cal Berkeley 60,073 UW Seattle 49,338  But, no, none of these give significant aid to out-of-state students. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGrief Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 My daughter goes to UW OOS; she's got the GI Bill, which helps, but only covers the in-state costs, so we still have quite a bit to make up (no Yellow Ribbon program there either). They do have smallish merit scholarships, which also helps. Â What killed us though is when they decided to LOWER the in-state rate, while keeping the OOS rate intact! Hooray for the in-state kids, but for us with an OOS GI Bill student, it increased our costs, because the reimbursement for the in-state part went down.

creekland Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Just stopping in to add congratulations to all.  Hubby and I spent a good part of yesterday visiting our Alma mater (Virginia Tech) and the absolute best parts included listening to current students sharing their lives with us - hopes, dreams, daily living, etc.  It gave us both good reminiscing time of our own days here and hope for the future with such terrific young men and ladies taking over.  One often hears how colleges are doing too much now - spending money frivolously, etc.  I guess that's true in some aspects, but a lot of what we've seen here have been big investments in educational opportunities - new equipment/buildings/research, etc.  Students going here today have so much at their fingertips.  It's pretty darn awesome IMO.  They only need to take advantage of it. When we get home I expect we'll be sending in a donation to a scholarship fund giving credit to the awesome young man who volunteered his own time (without our asking) to give us a great tour of many things new.  Plus... it's not only VT.  We've visited many good colleges in our lives... of course, VT is the best, but that goes without saying, right?  My boys schools come in a close second.  :lol:  But when did college students get so young looking??? :glare: 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
