Did they say wether or not they’d be awarding anymore scholarships?
They said all the merit based ones were handed out but there may be more need based ones in the next few weeks.
I don’t think Wayne cares much about stats! Accepted with lower than a 507. It may be something else maybe in your app? Maybe essays? Not sure
volunteering and service is very big for them I think. even better if you do it with a specific group of people that are underserved and develop skills specific to working with them
I worked a lot with urban underserved populations. Volunteer EMT for almost 3 years, taught at an inner city school, and specifically stated in my app that I want to work with these populations in the future. Like the comment above said, service is HUGE for them and a general passion for serving the underserved is what I feel they look for.
I'm just DM you the WAMC.
I highly doubt it. They said you can request a budget update if you need to purchase a laptop and want it covered by loans
Hope you have other A(s) to move on.... best of luck
+1 have been waitlisted since November...wish it didnt drag on so long but at least i didnt have to wait till july
Did y’all send a LOI?
I did, doesnt seem to do anything with wayne from what ive seen tbh
I just emailed admissions to withdraw my A. Good luck everybody!
The way I do it is I log in and then click on my frequent links > bill/account summary > do the duo push thing > financial aid > financial aid portal > award offer.
Thank you!!
That’s way less than I expected tbh, they gave out 675 acceptances and only ~400 (probably less since faculty and students attended like PatchAdams mentioned) attended? Was this year’s second look open to everyone or was it invitation only like last year? If it was open to all, then I think waitlist movement seems more and more plausible
i havent even sent in my transcripts but my pre-reqs are updated
I personally signed up for the second look day and I'm on the WL. I was not able to attend unfortunately, but I did receive the link to join.
WL kiddos could attend?
I RSVPd on the website and they sent me the link the night before. So I guess...
Interesting
but yea, just hoping for more movement soon!!!Oh interesting! Thanks for your reply
So they did this for you without any prompting? I suppose I'll wait until the background check comes through, too, and then contact them about it.
well actually initially they were partially updated. there was like 1 or 2 missing that should've been there. I contacted them and told them the classes that qualified for the missing pre-reqs, and they updated it like a day laterOh interesting! Thanks for your reply
Ah I see. In that case I'll email them! I'm way too anxious about this checklist lol
Yup it was open to all! The RSVP info was available on their events page
Same here! Waiting on verification of a document I sent last week.
Did you send them to [email protected]? If so you should be fine, it took a couple days for mine to get updated.
I did, thanks! They changed it on the portal very quickly!
they have to be official transcripts, right?
Yep! From the class of 2025 checklist:
Mine was like that this morning but just changed to show the award sometime today. Maybe it will be soon!
Did anyone get a substantial award? I’m upset because I have financial need and was only given the Board of Gov grant with a very low amount.
Same
I got the second highest amount and was really surprised
Are you in state or OOS? I’m so confused right now.
There are guidelines on Wayne’s website about how much you will receive for the BoG scholarship based on your undergraduate loans. If you received the incorrect amount I’d contact the financial aid office. Also, I believe they may be awarding a few mor need based scholarships before the year begins but I’m not 100% sure.
From the 2nd look day breakout meeting, I got the impression that they were done with both merit and need based aid scholarships (discounting BOG for new acceptances). Adam basically said that if you need more aid, then you need to apply for the Grad Plus loan as well.
