Were you guys successful in soliciting a merit based fee waiver?

No, which is why I'm not checking in as an applicant in this threadWinston1984 wrote:Were you guys successful in soliciting a merit based fee waiver?
My numbers are at/above their 75ths but they only gave me a need based waiver request form. I'm not sure that they do merit based waivers.

Re: Houston c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 Cycle)
Same thing happened to me (we have similar numbers too) I went ahead and applied anyway. I know that app fees are high, but the way I see it, even if you decide it isn't the school for you, you don't want to wonder what if. Not to mention it can only help to have more offers in hand with scholarship negotiations.AT9 wrote:No, which is why I'm not checking in as an applicant in this threadWinston1984 wrote:Were you guys successful in soliciting a merit based fee waiver?

Re: Houston c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 Cycle)
I hear ya. I just didn't apply because 13/14 of my other top choices gave me waivers, so I didn't see the sense in applying with so many other options (Houston was maybe top 10 or 15 for me, but not top 3 or something). Plus, SMU gave me a waiverWinston1984 wrote:Same thing happened to me (we have similar numbers too) I went ahead and applied anyway.

Checking in! Got a waiver, but would apply regardless since my tuition is covered.

Was it merit based? Solicited or unsolicited? If merit, what are your numbers? I tried a few months ago but it didn't work.Attax wrote:Checking in! Got a waiver, but would apply regardless since my tuition is covered.

Does anyone know that if you are an out-state student and you got the Dean's scholarship, do they only give you a in-state tuition waiver, or possibly will give you something else on top of that? thanks. just submitted my application..

Re: Houston c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 Cycle)
Yeah, that's not much but remember, Houston's tuition is less than half of SMU and Baylor's (assuming you're a TX resident). So $2,000 at Houston makes it $18,000 a year where you'd need $26,000 a year at SMU or Baylor to pay the same price.kobe1020 wrote:submitted last Friday not response yet.

Edit: I just looked up SMU's estimated tuition for next year and I didn't realize how damn expensive it is! $48,803! So I take back what I said earlier. You actually need a $31,000/year scholarship from SMU/Baylor to pay the same price as Houston. It also looks like Houston hasn't raised their tuition of $19,059 since 2010.

Unless I just looked at it wrong, I think you looked at only one semester. Looks like tuition is 29 for Res and 39 non-res.

Re: Houston c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 Cycle)
Exactly....I was like what their tuition is 19k...? So as an international student...I'm leaning towards SMU now, I will need an instate tuition waiver plus 5000 to get tuition from Houston on par with SMU.JRO1989 wrote:TheJanitor6203 wrote:Yeah, that's not much but remember, Houston's tuition is less than half of SMU and Baylor's (assuming you're a TX resident).

Yeah, I messed that up. I looked at their rate for 20 hours thinking 30 hours.

Maybe Houston will pull an SMU and release its first batch of decisions earlier than it did last cycle.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
