+1

with merit

Hofstra, like a lot of these small private colleges, give almost everyone some merit aid.

My kid got $43K per year. They also got like $34K per year from Loyola Chicago. Waiting to see how much they get from Loyola Maryland, but I'm pretty sure it will be similar to Chicago.

If only the large OOS publics that DC wants to go to would give DC a lot of merit aid. sigh.

What were his stats?

My kid has been waiting on Pitt, submitted in early October.

Hard classes, average grades, decent SAT (1300s)

We are gearing for a rejection since it is taking so much longer than everyone else.

Re Pitt, my DS has hard classes, strong upward trend, and average grades. He applied mid-October and was asked for mid year grades at the end of November. This is for Dietrich.

Congrats! DS went to their ID camp twice and loved the school but didn’t get in. Ended up at Emory for business.

Those are all selective and above schools. Was there a safety or have one in mind for RD or rolling admit?

Is Pitt "selective" and "above" at this point in the cycle??

Yes, Pitt is selective especially for some majors. I know a student who got in at Clemson but not Pitt.

Yeah - took my kid by surprise, but I believe other schools sometimes release earlier than they had said they would.
