11-22-13 Samford informed me I was accepted faster than they could email me an application tracker. 24 hour turnaround on that one. Packet and scholarship info on the way
12-02-13 Mercer emailed me informing me I had been accepted. Another quick turnaround. Scholarship and acceptance information are in the mail.
12-10-13 Mercer offered 18k/year with no strings attached. Found out through a nice email
12-13-13 Stetson acceptance came in through email with 7500k/year scholarship as long as I stay in good academic standing
12-17-13 Accepted at Tulane through email
01-10-14 SMU called and informed me that I was accepted. Told me any scholarship information would be included in the acceptance packet
01-17-14 Visited Mercer and found out they have upped their offer by a few thousand. Came home and found a 45k scholarship from SMU. Was not expecting that. The SMU scholarship certainly throws a monkey wrench in the running gear for my school choices.
01-22-14 FIU status changed to decision made. Called the school and they said they could not reveal decisions over the phone. 30 mins later I got an accepted students forum invite from the admissions coordinator. Guess that tells me the answer to their decision.
01-24-14 Visited Samford for a scholarship interview.
The results of the interviews will be disclosed in Feb. but I was very surprised at how nice Samford was. Faculty and everyone I met seemed to have it together. Samford is definitely on my short list at this point
01-28-14 FIU packet came in today with a 12500/yr scholarship as long as I stay in the top 50% of my class. Definitely makes that school ridiculously cheap. Too bad Miami COL is so high
02-05-14 Samford emailed me informing me I was awarded a 9k/yr as long as I stayed in the top 2/3rds of my class.
02-24-14 Things went quiet for a little while but today I was accepted into LSU and South Car. with LSU giving 20/yr over three years with a 2.75 floor on my GPA to keep the scholarship. South Carolina said any scholarship information will be in the acceptance packet
03-05-14 Sat down today and boiled my list down to to my final choices. Sent out the withdraw emails to the other schools.
03-05-14 After many many many agonizing weeks I was accepted to FSU. They say it takes 90 days to review files and it took every bit of that and some by my count.
03-11-14 FSU it is
