Good luck!

thank you!

are both attending?



They both did. One got phd in engineering (different school), the other went to a med school. The 529 money we saved paid for medical school and other post-college expenses. They are both grateful that they have no student loans to pay. But, at the time, it was somewhat difficult seeing their friends going to big name schools. But they know they made the right choice for them/us.

DC received this as well. In addition, I'd love to know the percentage of students who interview are awarded a full or half scholarship.

Have all the invitation come out, or are they in batches for in-state versus OOS?

I believe that all of the invited students get a full or half scholarship. Congrats!
