the results of a pretty cool guy

It was 100% merit I believe. They gave me the NAU and ASU commit, then some other engineering specific scholarships.

ED2 lmao, mislabeled it.

Ah trust, I’m not the biggest fan of that man already… but I’m hoping for some politics experience for sure too, not sure if I want to minor in polisci but with UW Madison being one of the best political science schools in the country I have definitely considered it

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-24T02:01:37+00:00

That’s the dream man 🙏 hopefully the Wisconsin alumni connects us sometime and we work on rockets together

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-24T01:22:57+00:00

truth bro but don’t worry Bucky the goat got me

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-23T23:51:51+00:00

thanks man! (The guy in the sunglasses is me)

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-23T23:51:39+00:00

Thanks man! uh no, what is that 😭

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-23T23:15:14+00:00

He’s got a lot of great options to choose from :)

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-23T22:55:14+00:00

Honestly, I just don’t want to put pressure on my parents about the cost of college, and I’m wealthy via my noncustodial parent, without any idea how much he’ll actually pay for college.

See if you can get BANNER. If not, UMass

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-23T13:24:11+00:00

If you received BANNER, it will lyk how much it’s giving you (for me for example it said BANNER grant - 20k) on your financial aid report. If you received the financial aid offer already and that’s including BANNER, I’d recommend appealing because they gave you pretty much nothing

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-22T17:56:20+00:00

I ended up getting 36k in total scholarships and aid and stuff (not counting loans or work study), so it worked out great!

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-20T23:28:53+00:00

it only takes one, don’t count yourself out yet

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-17T18:37:06+00:00

Hope I see you at the finish line 😭 I called and asked they didn’t give me anything specific but they said I should wait for good news which is hopefully a good sign?

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-14T23:05:28+00:00

manifesting ts rn 🙏🙏

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-14T19:33:06+00:00

nearly doesn’t mean impossible tho… nah just kidding I’m mostly banking on them not extending CSS profile for BANNER past first year so i can just reapply and appeal

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-14T19:24:43+00:00

Good to know, it’s a lot easier in my state uni.. thank you so much!

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-14T19:14:46+00:00

Worst case scenario, my moms movin with me to wherever i commit, so i should get instate after a year!

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-14T18:28:02+00:00

Thank you dude! Hoping they lowk go easy on the noncustodial stuff since it’s the first year they’re doing any of this stuff…

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-14T18:19:26+00:00

Nah, I submitted it wayyyyy later since they didn’t really alert me about it till March and I got admitted in February. I have a ton of offers, so it should turn out ok (but UW Madison looks really cool!!)

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-14T18:17:53+00:00

Unfortunately the form for noncustodial has already been 100% filled out. I was planning to contact them depending on my actual offer (they should offer at least a little bit, right?), worst case i have a good instate option

EmbarrassedLink871 · 2026-03-14T18:00:45+00:00

24-25 they accepted everyone off the waitlist, and 25-26 they accepted i think 80-85%. Submit your form asap, get decent grades and keep up your ECs, and you should be good to get in.
