That’s disappointing. What math level?

AP Calc BC, Ap Stats, Ap Physics - 1, all junior, and Multivariate Calc and AP Physics - C now.

But no leadership and EC kind of related to mechanical engineering. Still...

Results can be so random. Enrollment management has its hand in things. Maybe they thought your son would go elsewhere with a transcript like that. It’s not a negative reflection of his application and I hope he doesn’t take it personally. Maybe reach out to the school counselor and see what they think.

Thank you! That is a good suggestion.

Kid was admitted but no mention of $. Do merit aid offers typically come on the same notice?

DC was deferred for Engineering. OOS, 3.95, 1380, strong ECs.

Same here. Was aid in the offer letter?

There was a separate line/link at the bottom. I think it said “scholarship letter” or something to that effect. Very easy to miss.

Yes the merit letter was attached at the bottom. I agree, very small and easy to miss.
