Yale will come out on the 11th. This is about a week longer than last year it seems

Out of curiosity, did you call them on the date?

Why do I feel like they will send an email by 11th but update the portal earlier ?

hey, do you know if this has happened before? Or does it always come out on the date they say? @Boolakanaka

I would say, during and post covid, the potential relevance of past historical dates are lesser indicators of present actions.

I got full funding for the 2022-2023 school year with the possibility of renewal for my second year if I remain in good standing and take 12 units!

Hi, I received a fellowship from Bren that covers all normal "academic fees and tuition." It does not cover the "professional degree supplemental tuition (PDST)" though, which is about $3.5k/ quarter. I'm curious did your funding offer cover both normal and professional degree tuition?

Hello, in my chart there was coverage for the PDST during the 2022-2023 school year. I am curious if you received funding for both years, excluding PDST, or just for 2022-2023?

for those admitted to Bren, they sent out an email on March 4th to RSVP for their new  student week. I just saw it in my email because gmail put it under "promotions" ? just a heads up in case you haven't seen it either

Current Duke first year MEM here, was in your shoes this time last year so congrats to everyone on their acceptances!!

Of the programs I was accepted to (NSOE, Bren, SEAS), NSOE awarded by far the most financial aid and this was true for most students I know. The highest scholarship you can get is if you’re selected as a Nicholas Scholar, and that’s about 3/5 of tuition. I got a generic scholarship and then work study + an assistantship, which is like work study but typically more professionally oriented (you apply to ones you want when school starts; mine is directly in the field I want to work in but some are more administrative). A looot of people have some amount of financial aid. Mine totaled is about 40% of tuition.

SEAS gave funding info with the acceptance, same with Bren but only for merit scholarships; they had said need based would come later but this was beyond deadlines for deposits, so.

NSOE had a record number of applications this year and I think accepted fewer people; last year every school at Duke including NSOE had their largest class ever due to more people than expected accepting the admissions offer.

Hey, by when does the school usually send out the fin-aid notifications?

Hi guys, fellow F22 applicant here. Have been following this thread passively for a while now. (THANK YOU FOR EXISTING!) Have been accepted into UM-SEAS and Duke MEM-EE. Waiting for Yale like you guys, but am inclined to go to Duke since I find the program more suitable for energy studies. Any thoughts?

Thanks for dropping by and giving useful info! I am still waiting on the NSOE financial aid info to be released, but you really get my hopes up :)

Dates for primary emails from last year: 

Admissions decision 02/23

Scholarship award 03/16

Full financial aid package 03/31

I can’t remember if we received info prior to those dates but that’s when I got the relevant emails.

I’d assume they won’t be waiting the same amount of time this year if admissions was early March (in part because my class is record size), but I have no idea

Edit: and everyone I know in the energy concentration seems happy with it—or at least they’re satisfied they’re gaining useful skills and receiving a solid education.

Thanks, @tiaki! What's class size like this year compared to your batch? and what percentage of applicants got fin-aid in your batch?

Last full day before YSE decision day!! Starting to feel the anxiety again lol

Gonna watch Batman tonight after work to let 3 hours fly by

Feel like taking a day off tmrw ? Btw do you think it’s possible for the results to be out a day earlier? I remember reading in 2020? (or 2019) in which YSE decision was out on the 6th despite email saying the 8th.
