You will get the full MA boost even if you are 1/2.
You will get at least one of HYS.
You will prbly get some money at every school you apply.
Good luck.

I take it you're applying next cycle and not this one? You should get at least 2 of HYS and big money elsewhere. Make sure to apply broadly for scholarships. Congrats on the fantastic score!

Softs: Average? Received full need-based scholarship from HYPSM and worked part-time (15-20 hrs/week) to support myself through school. Applying fall 2015 so will have 1 year of full-time WE.

Possibly worth noting that I'm 1/2 MA.

Particularly interested in chances at $$, so if you could comment on that please do!
Your cycle should go pretty similarly to mine, and so far so good. I think you'll get HYS and if you received full need based in UG there's a good chance you receive a decent need based package from them. As far as money goes, so far I've gotten Berkeley (No initial scholly offer, want you to match), and Duke (waiting on scholly), as well as UCLA (Full Ride).

Yes. I always planned on applying fall 2015, but luckily my February take was good enough to not need the retakes in June/October that I allowed for.

Thank you!

Another 1/2 MA here. I def agree with the others based on my cycle. I feel like I've gotten a measurable boost. Regardless, you have great numbers, so you're sure to have many fine options. Good luck!
