DD was not TO but they give you a merit estimate if you put your stats into their website. Although it may be more cut and dry with test scores. You could see what it says.


I couldn't find the merit estimate calculator on the UVM website or via google. Do you have a link? Thanks!

Will add since everyone is talking about the financial piece: No merit aid obviously but financial aid was within $50 of the NPC estimate. COA is in line with our in-state public flagship.

Oh interesting - Where did you see the Drexel merit info? In the acceptance letter itself or elsewhere?
