Yes. This correct. They were “merit” based as a D3 cannot offer athletic scholarships (however the coaches have some influence on this). But he turned them down and has opted to stay in state with an academic scholarship in no way tied to sports.

Yaaasssss! Wow! If your DS didn’t make it in, then what in the world!? Thanks for the update! My DS unfortunately turned down two D3 athletic scholarships and can’t get that back. BUT... he knew the chance he took and was awarded a great academic scholarship that was still available to him. I...

Yes. I saw that when we first started a year ago. I guess with everything going on, moving forward means a different paths for us all. Who knows if these schools and universities are even going to start by fall. 😥 I wish everyone the best in whatever path they choose!

What if they go through all of this self prep only to be denied again? When is the cut off date to apply there? Can’t find it on the web site. Thanks

Couldn’t he go to a local college, even a JR college, take the equivalent classes there (comp, calculus, chem, etc.) take sat and act prep classes on line or with a tutor and re apply? MMI is not inexpensive, and depending on where you live, You will have out of state and rom and board. If you...

His path has a new direction! I think we will all finally get some Much needed sleep tonight. It has...

A no here too! We were actually walking the campus of plan B at the moment we found out.

Same here!

Does anyone know the final number of applicants? All of them from EA to RA? Curious.

DS still has status and deferral letter from 12/20 on his. 😕

I am a nurse and actually was allowed to take today off to be there either way for him.

When my son applied EA (before his deferral) his AO emailed him days before the final decision and asked him to call between 4-430. I drove 100 mph home from work to be there thinking “this is THE CALL!” I recorded video of DS calling AO thinking of the momentous occasion and then witnessed...

This morning??!
