ehh just got the 90k offer too. Not happening. Will be withdrawing.

105k here. I feel like a slightly crazy person for actually typing it out, but, yeah, I don't think that's enough to budge from S or H (and the Y candle of hope still burns...)

(out of curiosity, of those who got these large but not full-ride awards, did you have an interview with Karla Vargas? She interviewed me regarding a 'large award' a week or two ago, and I'm wondering if I flubbed that and missed out on a Rubenstein. Ah well -- makes decisions less complicated!)

I'm freaking out a little bit cause this is the last piece of the puzzle.

Anyone else update to 2/14? This is my second UR date, I believe.....

Just got my scholarship offer of $45,000. I'm a little disappointed in it actually. Meh...

That seems a bit low for someone with your stats/profile. You have a right to be disappointed, especially considering that their Rubenstein money was expected to free up more money for others

Yeah, I mean you can't really get all "woe is me" with money offers at T6, but I was hoping for more than than to make it easier to turn down T20 full rides. This leaves me a little soured.

Does this mean that there is going to be no money left for those still UR? I just went UR on 2/9 and while I don't assume I would get in/even get a scholarship if I got in, I would be annoyed to know that there is nothing left for us

Just got offered $25k a year. Pretty psyched.

UC, making it rain! Were all of those offered money from the 01/10 admit group? Just want to see if I have been left in the cold or if 02/10 admits may have offers coming.

ExpectLess · Post by **ExpectLess** » Fri Feb 18, 2011 5:07 pm

66k here. Considering that amounts to nearly half tuition, a tempting offer... If no HYS, then maybe hello C?

I'm in the 01/10 group and have not yet received an offer. Hoping for one soon!

Dulc, I got the same offer--I'm actually really thrilled about it. Still waiting on H and S, although I think I'd take the money over Columbia at face value.

No idea.. Im honestly still a little shocked. I expected at least 6 figures. 40k/yr wouldve probably immediately ended my cycle for UChi. I will get basically an equivalent offer from H so I really dont have much a choice. I guess its down to darrow vs. H unless I get stanford or AnBryce then Im basically back to square 1.

I'm pretty sure you can apply for schollys to make up for that 10k a year they "stiffed" you for. I know of 2 right now that are 30k schollys (10k per year) for URMs. Don't give up hope on C just yet.

Hey-O · Post by **Hey-O** » Fri Feb 18, 2011 5:18 pm

60K for all three years. It's okay. I'm not psyched but I'm not sobbing either. It's a little better than 'meh'.

Really? Are this UChi scholarships or others?

Are these offers still rolling in? Nothin' here yet.

Congrats. I'd PM you but can't. For comparative reasons, stats? (And feel free to PM me.)

Outside schollys. I just did a quick Google search for URM schollys and found some nice ones that I plan to apply for this weekend.
