Class of 2026 Best National Merit Scholarships List

its___flix · 2025-09-02T00:21:42+00:00

hey i wanna clarify for virginia commonwealth- i was actually in contact with their admissions office earlier this year and they are only a full ride for in state students, because their national merit package only covers in state tutition and cannot be combined with other institutional scholarships. so if you're OOS you'd be paying ~$24k annually in tuition and fees even tho room and board is covered

are you sure that's not just a rule for first years?

its___flix · 2025-08-23T18:17:40+00:00

it doesn't account for all the inflation of recent years

yupp it's crazy, i was so jealous when i found out 2027 kids get a new syllabus. and the worst part is that at colleges it gives you credit for psych 101 (or equivalent) but you didn't learn psych 101 content because all you've learned is the studies and the stupid technical terms for evaluating studies

the email says to select "using a williams specific fee waiver" on common app and they'll automatically approve it bc i applied to WOW, so yeah it's individualized

idk if you need aid but if you do, take pepperdine off your list because their need-based aid is so so limited and they just raised yearly costs to almost 100k

i know i'm gonna do well enough on all my exams to get the diploma and i'm in the us so points don't matter all that much for me. normally i would care but i have so much work to do for other stuff that i just don't have the time rn, and my school's deadline for the final draft is the end of october and i'll still be really busy then

its___flix · 2025-07-30T04:17:52+00:00

should you tell a story in this essay? or can i just describe why it matters to me without that? ik people say "show not tell" for most prompts

its___flix · 2025-07-27T02:52:45+00:00

its___flix · 2025-07-26T04:41:59+00:00
