My son has received Regular Decision appointments to VMI & The Citadel. He has interviewed for the academic Scholars program at both schools. Very high academic stats, six year athlete (not D1 competitive level), military family, out of state. Financially, we will need the academic scholarship in order for him to matriculate at either school. He would be thrilled to attend either school, just concerned about costs.
I think I read that VMI will notify Scholars by 4/1 and Citadel by 4/30. Any input on timing?
Should I go ahead and pay the deposit at both schools? Will they look at that as a sign of commitment from him (or lack thereof if not yet paid) when they decide who gets the academic scholarship? I can swing it if I need to, I do understand it is refundable to a point, but we are on a budget. Thanks for any advice!
