When do they send the FA awards? My DS is interested in applying to Drexel next year but it's very $$$$.

How much merit?

Yes, DS did get Honors College for UVM. With SAT less than above.


No honors for my DC: 33 ACT (equivalent to 1480) and also 4.0 unweighted...also got $18K a year. From what I understand, the Honors College invitation is based on a more holistic review, including intended major, geography, etc.


No honors for my DC with similar stats. Same merit aid package, just under 20K per year. Not making the honor college may be a deal-breaker for us. The dorm situation for non-honors seems pretty bad compared to other schools, and a totally different experience from the shiney new honors dorm. The merit aid is nice, but about 70 percent of applicants get that level of aid, and the price of the school seems marked up accoringly for for out-of-state students.

The website does say that honors college invitations could happen as late as February. Then in another place it says wait lists will be announced in March, so who knows?


I am one of the PP whose kid did not get honors college. A good friend did get an offer for honors college, so, I don't think an offer will be forthcoming later.

DC stats a little lower that that, no honors, did get $18k per year also.

PP said “Not making the honor college may be a deal-breaker for us. The dorm situation for non-honors seems pretty bad compared to other schools, and a totally different experience from the shiney new honors dorm.”


Can you say more about that? I don’t have a good understanding of what the dorms re like, if people mostly get doubles, etc.

Oh that is awesome! Mine applied to both but not early... Hoping to study TV/film.

Did either offer aid with the acceptance?
