There is literally no guarantee of that, and in fact I think 90k is probably at the upper end of what you could reasonably expect. Also, 90k + in-state is huge.The-Specs wrote:If they are giving you 90k off the waitlist i would think that you could get more next year with a normal application.
NYU is the only school where 173/3.5 is even guaranteed admission, not to mention scholarship money. Additional data points are always useful, but $90K at Chicago would be incredible, and the butler basically impossible with those numbers.

I was, uh, a tad splittier than him but not by much and I got in the mid $80s at one school and in the $60s at another.jbagelboy wrote:NYU is the only school where 173/3.5 is even guaranteed admission, not to mention scholarship money.

also if you got $85/87K at CLS I'd be quite jealous
If you're saying you were 3.5/high 170s non-URM and got $80k at CLS, you should note that not only is that not common, it's essentially unheard of. So not a reasonable thing on which to base a decision.nerv wrote:I was, uh, a tad splittier than him but not by much and I got in the mid $80s at one school and in the $60s at another.jbagelboy wrote:NYU is the only school where 173/3.5 is even guaranteed admission, not to mention scholarship money.

Also, he has closer to a 3.6 than a 3.5.

This is what I was thinking. You're not likely to get much better than UVA with 90k with those numbers. That is an excellent outcome, especially if UVA is your dream school. Congrats, OP.NoodleyOne wrote: If you really want the year off and you're set on UVA, ask them if they'd allow you to defer with the same offer. Congrats on the score and the great offer, by the way.
Yea thats what Im saying. However, CLS does have a need based component that operates alongside its numbers draw. Beepboop got the $85K with numbers that normally would not be close, but I think he said he's on the very low income side and made that clear. I wouldnt be surprised if the $85K here was largely need based.Monochromatic Oeuvre wrote:If you're saying you were 3.5/high 170s non-URM and got $80k at CLS, you should note that not only is that not common, it's essentially unheard of.
