[IMPORTANT] These estimates are for high level planning only. Things like summer jobs, when you spend your savings, and other financial decisions will impact exactly how much you pay.
And conditional scholarships are like heck no, run the other direction. so many people online saying they lost their scholarship then had to pay 50,000 tuition for the final two years. not worth the risk
Lmao adding to the Belmont hate, just got the R after admissions called twice to ask me the same 3 questions, tell me my numbers "looked good", and ask if I'd still consider the school without a scholarship :)

@NoisyIrateLoon: that tells me they really do not want me to attend. Good to know, then they offer 70% of their students scholarships it tells me they don't really want me to attend
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: I think it has to do with the Military service. I think that I saw someone else on reddit mention that they did not receive merit aid because of money from the government, not sure but I would look on reddit.

@NoisyIrateLoon: Too bad GI bills don't fully cover law school or last forever because mine won't cover the full degree or full cost making me more dependent on student loans and scholarships. Will see how it plays out in the end when I attempt scholarship negotiations because getting nothing makes you feel shitty

@NoisyIrateLoon: like even when they asked in the application how we plan to fund the schools I wrote Student loans and scholarships as my GI bill will run out.

If I am being real though Belmont is my number 1/2 choice because their location, mentorship programs and great outcomes. I plan to use any other school that accepts me to help negotiate scholarships. I am just salty they did not offer me anything at all.
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: yes, I would reach out and discuss this with their financial aid department. I am planning on using other offers to ask for a bit more too later on. However, not sure if you should reach out to them sooner rather than later to explain your situation and have them reevaluate your situation before they give out most of their scholarship funds

@NoisyIrateLoon: I plan to ask December/January so not late in the cycle as because of personal reasons I have to commit to a school by late January. Since it is still relatively early I am hoping for reconsideration

Status checker says that a decision has been made & it will be emailed. When should I expect to hear from them? (Current date: 12/4)
THey have a PREDATORY curve AND scholarship mininum. Be VERY CAREFUL. Search you tube videos for clear factual examples. Kinda scummy.

They do not have a predatory curve. It is in their student handbook you can find online.

something like As are 10-25% Bs are 35-60 and Cs are 0-15%. I believe scholarship with belmont is based on maintain academic standing which anyone can easily do

25% of the class will have their scholarship reduced or eliminated each year because of failure to maintain a GPA of 2.75 or higher
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: not at all. Was a "safety" and they knew it and yield protection is real. Overpriced and PREDATORY, facts and numbers are righ tin front of your face between these two posts. Numbers don't lie there little fella. Careful....
