T14 Merit Scholarship Notifications Forum

[ChinaCat]

Does anyone know which schools in the top 14 take the longest to notify admitted students of scholarship awards, and when those schools finish sending out notifications? Specifically, if I submitted applications to schools in the top 14 between late November and late December, what's the latest I could expect to hear back about scholarships?

why not just ask for the school, rather than a generalized chart? Schools vary so it's hard to tell and doesn't necessarily depend on when you apply.

There are several schools I'm wondering about: Columbia, Chicago, NYU, Penn, Berkeley, UVA, and Cornell. Any info about how long it takes to hear about merit aid from any of those schools would be helpful.

Can I count on hearing back about merit aid from the schools listed above before late April?

no, b/c you can negotiate all the way up until the first day of class, which is what you should be doing after they first notify you of your award.

Thanks!
