Merit?
I went to go pay my first bill for Syracuse, as I’m entering as a Freshman this fall. Under the balance due it said “approved anticipated financial aid”. It was $7,500 a semester, but in my original letter I didn’t recieve any merit? Did I actually get merit? Do we think they took the money offered to other students who didn’t except Syracuse’s offer and hand it off to people who didn’t originally recieve merit at first? This was totally unexpected and I’m jumping for joy, but don’t want to get my hopes up…
Also to note, I did not request financial aid in my common app or turn in FAFSA or anything.
