What is the chance for DC oos? DC is a junior. So far:
1440 SAT
3.7 uwgpa/4.5 wgpa
6 APs
Some decent ECs -- heavily involved in theater/music/choir, one non varsity sport, work experience.
We need at least $15K/year merit to make it work.

Yes. How do you find out about merit aid?
I am the OOS PP - it was on the portal with the admissions decision.
Instate $2k per year was the same. It was part of the Congratulations letter in the portal.
Same here. Instate, did not apply to honors.

Any chance GMU will increase the merit in the Spring for those getting the $2k in-state/$1k OOS?
