[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is the 2019 class doing?  Just curious.  I realize that more acceptances will be received in April, but by now, the class will have received some results.[/quote]

My kid is in the senior class. He and most of his classmates are in at their safeties (mix of state flagships, SLACs, HBCUs) and others are in at their first choice and withdrew the rest of their appications.

Most chose not to apply anywhere ED (seeking financial aid packages and wanted to be able to compare) and are still waiting on some RD decisions (4/1) Per the update from the BASIS college counselors yesterday, 270 applications are still outstanding.

So far, the 41 graduates have been offered a total of $4.5M in merit scholarships.

Do you happen to know if most students received scholarship money or if it is concentrated in a subset of students?  $4.5M is an amazing amount for a class of 41![/quote]

I don't know. My kid applied to 2 safety/match schools EA and received about $120K from each. Now anxiously waiting to hear from another 5 this month. [/quote]

Does about 120K in merit aid mean about 30K/year?  [/quote]

Yes. That's how colleges count it bc it is renewable unless your college GPA drops below a 3.0. Even if parents income skyrockets they won't withdraw that money.[/quote]
