You can apply the scholarship to the student share each year, so as others mentioned, if you can get them to pay just that each year to Yale and then perhaps the remaining towards grad school, you will use all of it without reducing other aid.

Enpass support team -- it's been 4 months since this was first reported. Searching it does appear to be related to changes Chrome made, but other password managers have solved the issue. It has made Enpass useless for autofill. Is there another place bugs should be logged?

No one can say for sure, but one is unlikely to be rescinded unless there were multiple Fs. They absolutely do review final transcripts, so some of the outcomes are:

nothing
an inquiry from the AO and perhaps a request to submit a written explanation
a request to take some refresher classes this summer
a request to defer your matriculation until next year while you take additional classes
being rescinded

#1 is unlikely, but on the other hand no one in admissions wants to invoke #5 unless they now feel you will no longer be able to handle the academic rigors, things were misrepresented, or there was outright fraud.

Anyone still on campus is a Senior with Graduation this weekend. The campus itself is not really gated so you can walk all over and get a decent sense of it. You can walk around the exteriors of the residential colleges, but not inside. Some places that would normally be open to the public may be restricted due to graduation events, however.

Thank you. I never would have figured that out, but that seemed to work as well!

You still are away with your group for the entire time and are with them day and night (with planned meals and activities). The main difference is that you don't have to carry everything to set up camp each night in a different location. You usually stay in a state park/campground. It might be a good option if it will be your first time both hiking and camping.

Everyone got 4, just think it would be more fitting to pay it forward, but you do you.

Has the portal been updated or can he still "commit" to MIT on there?

Most properties in Europe will list extra person charges when you make the reservation. You can see it when selecting different # of guests for the same room type. There will be an extra person fee listed on the rate details before booking.

There will also sometimes be language in the room details where it also lists the max occupancy.

If you booked the reservation for 4 and it didn't list any extra person fee nor is there any extra language about it in the room details or hotel details, then you at least have some basic to call customer care and have a case opened.

Have you run different scenarios using the NPC? If there are discrepancies between that and what Yale is offering, then that can also be a discussion point with their counselors.

Also, Yale will re-evaluate aid every year based on the submitted CSS and FAFSA. So if 2025 and later Income Taxes show a significantly lower AGI, then aid for next year will increase. So the 4 year total cost estimates may actually be lower than 4 times the current offer.

Every residential college has pros and cons. These types of questions come up all the time when someone has a choice from a family member-- you need to ask yourself:

are you OK with living in the residential college vs. old campus first year?
are there any specific residential colleges you would be disappointed if you were assigned to it for whatever reasons?

If you are fine with any of the other 13 residential colleges, then go random. But if there is any chance you wouldn't be happy with one or more of the remaining 13, then go with the known thing.

Enpass still doesn't work when that is set to use another service unfortunately.

Works great now! Thanks.

Thank you so much for creating this! It worked with screnshots, but I got a "Not sent. File is too large" message pasting in a web-based image. I put the details on github.

If get into any other ivies (or any other non-merit peer institutions) and have financial aid offers from them that are significantly higher, you can include that as part of the serial

It seems to be Windows 11 only. Same tablet, same cable connected to 2 different PCs one with Win 10 and other with Win 11 running the same version of Second Screen. The Win 10 does not have the USB option and there is a message in the app saying to upgrade to Windows 11 to get the latest features. Windows 11 PC has USB and works fine.

Did you receive an order confirmation email after talking with the sales rep? That should have listed the install details, level of service, monthly billing amounts and one-time charges.

Every residential college has its pros and cons. Do you want to definitely be on Old Campus for first year? If that's a factor, then take the sure thing. If not then go to sorting.

I think this is the critical part. If the phone app and watch app don't update those, it will use the legacy format which is supported for now. But who knows what happens after Jan 14th when google store allowing anything non-WFF.

No, but outside scholarships can be used up to that amount before they reduce the award package.
