UConn waiting thread Forum

[kalvano]

Well, my numbers put me close to an auto-admit for UConn, so that's the way I am leaning.

Are you thinking of going to Wake Forest over UConn?

Depends on what kind of offer I get from UConn. I'd rather be in New England.

Hope you get a great offer soon!

I should clarify that I didn't inspect my status checker after being admitted until today, and therefore I cant' be sure when these changes took place. For all I know, everybody's status checker changed today. I hope you guys are in, though.

Yeah, maybe the requirements box just clears out a while after you've gone complete, or perhaps when you're under review.

There was no letter in my mailbox yesterday. Phew!

I am about to print out my "Student Application for Financial Assistance" form, which is due on March 1st btw, even if you don't have a decision yet. Do other schools request this form? It sort of seems redundant if they already have access to my FAFSA info...

Some schools require extra forms, some do not. The schools that do require extra forms mostly all have their own individual forms to complete. (Unless its one that uses NeedAccess or w/e that bs site is that requires you to pay a fee to tell them you need financial assistance - irony? I think so.)

The general rule is complete all financial aid forms for every school you haven't been rejected from. (So glad I didn't apply to 20+ schools). And almost every school has their financial aid stuff due by March 1st or 2nd.

It's fun times completing all these forms, let me tell you. Too bad I'm not independently wealthy and don't have parents/grandparents to foot the bill.

Congrats! How did you hear? Snail mail?

[tram988]

Yes I just got it today dated 2/3! They made me a Dean's scholar lol. I wish the 10k was for all three years-- I'm getting greedy

You should be hearing soon as well.

10k for one year only right? I still don't think I can turn BC down for it....

Yeah - I thought just the one year was a little strange. And no, not swaying me from BC, even though I have yet to hear anything from them...

Yea I got full NE tuition for the first year, but only the first year. Thats not going to be enough to sway me from BU or BC (if I get in)

They specified that it is not renewable? That seems weird- I didn't know that schools did that! Congratulations anyway!

(Come onnnnn, UConn- Burger needs a new pair of shoes!)

Isn't it strange? 10k/year would be damn tempting.

I'm in a pickle... my app is received by Uconn minus the cert but I refuse to request it by my UG institution in fear that it'll in some way prejudice my chances because I'm applying to my UG Law school. Info leakage.... frightened. Is this ridiculous? I've heard of stranger things happening this cycle.

I'm going to go ahead and say that there is no way that your UG thinks you are only applying to one school. I very, very much doubt they would hold it against you.

+1. I answered the "to which other schools are you applying" question honestly on all of my apps, and it doesn't seem to have had any effect on my cycle at all. Your UG institution will not be offended in the slightest. Good luck!

Why do you think...no go from BU, still haven't heard from UConn or UW.

Well, first off, if you don't request it, UConn won't look at your file.

Secondly, your UG school know you are applying to multiple schools. It's not going to hurt their feelings.

In today via regular mail!

Accepted to both (day and evening) divisions at the only school I applied to!!!
