[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those wondering about merit, DD had a link at the bottom of her online acceptance letter. She was awarded the $25,000 CU Boulder Chancellor’s Achievement Scholarship, which is $6,250 per year. She was admitted to the biomedical engineering program, but her letter didn't say anything about an Honors College or program.

Did students have to apply to the Honors College separately? DD's at a basketball tournament today so I have no idea if she applied for Honors or not - but she should have.

Here are her stats, if helpful to others.

OOS - large public school district
4.0/4.62W at time of application (GPA went up slightly at the end of 1st semester)
35 ACT single-sitting; 36 superscore
1550 ACT single-sitting; 1570 or 80 superscore (can't remember)
10-ish APs, including several senior year. This is a typical amount for honors students at her high school, though some have more APs
3 sports, plus a club sport. Varsity captain of 2 of those sports, but not recruited athlete material
Executive student government officer and state officer of an organization
Some national awards for stuff unrelated to her major
Volunteering, etc.
NMSF

I've tried to stay back from her app process, though I helped by proofreading her essays before she submitted. I assumed CU Boulder had rolling admissions, so I wondered when notice of her acceptance or redirection would show up. She was also accepted to CO School of the Mines and some other schools, with a few more pending. Cost is a big issue for us and in-state would be free. CU Boulder does sound great and we have family in the area, so we may schedule a visit.

Wow, those are super high stats for such a low merit award.[/quote]

My kid had very similar stats and got into Engineering but no merit aid  Their other safeties - U of Arizona and U of Minnesota offered substantial.  But, it's Boulder.  And as a Leeds alumni, I'm impressed with the school - it keeps getting better especially in Engineering and Business.[/quote]
