$40k COL x 3 + 60k and Temple is a decent school. It really depends on your goal, willingness to R&R, but from wat ppl say, next year will be just as competitive if not more so...

Very possible. Idk Ig the question is: will the prospects of next year exceed the value of the certainty of your offer now [Temple] and if not, is the risk of R&R worth the time/money compared to your present offer?
Hey yall, my cycle is finally over and I wanted to get opinions on this: do I choose Umiami on a full ride or emory w only 15k a year scholarship?

me with cls
I just took a tour of Notre Dame and they said that they had a 40% increase in applications and we’re going through staffing changes in the admissions office so it can be until July 1 that they even send out first decisions
This does not include weightless decisions that can be up until the week of orientation that they’re given so I think this year with how many applications the April 30 deadline means nothing. So keep faith for sure!
oh umm jesus h christ ndls

thanks for the update nighthawk, thats a relief to hear
is the scholarship in the addmissions predictor per year or overall?
legallybrunettelily
15:34
fo pm soon
Also, Notre Dame said that they still have a lot of spots to give and a lot of scholarship money to give and that no one should get discouraged and it’s just a slower process this year so if you haven’t heard back, don’t worry at all
oh that is reassuring
