Thank you! We enjoyed our visit for the open house so much and were really impressed with the school. Still a few schools to hear back from but dh and I are crossing fingers for this one as final choice.

In the honors college with the $25k scholarship. 4.0 UW GPA (I don't know what her weighted is) and 1560 SAT. This is her first college admission and we are all very happy!

Regarding the scholarship, I'm thinking that it gets reduced with DCTAG money?

Any experience out there with folks that get a scholarship and also eligible to use DCTAG? It would be great if we could use both, but I'm thinking that's not likely.

It's all about the vibe. Great school, chill attitude, lots of outdoorsy stuff to do.

Those scholarships are very generous. I think that would swing it for me.

there was a previous thread on this question:

it still isn't clear to me in this case, though, since the UVM "merit scholarships" our kids got are only for OOS students. DC TAG might argue that the purpose of the merit is to bring the tuition down to in-state levels so you could only get DC TAG up until the amount of tuition you are paying is equal to in-state tuition.

It's definitely nice to be wanted. And UVM is unique in alot of ways for a public institution because of size and location.

It certainly did the trick for us. Our daughter absolutely loves it there, will probably end up staying in Vemont after graduation.
