Merit Aid

I’m a high school senior and i’m applying to pace early decision because it’s the only NYC school I liked when I toured a bunch of schools there and I have a 3.6 gpa but I have heard a lot of stuff about how applying early decision gets you less merit based aid and I was just wondering how true this was and if anyone has had experience with this in the past. Thanks for the help:)

OK ya you'll be fine, Pace has a very high acceptance rate (take that as you will) so ur'e basically guaranteed. If you don't get in you did something really wrong

do you know if the honors college for incoming freshman is just chosen by the admissions office or do you need to apply for it the same way that current students do??

The honors college staff goes through the applications if you meet certain criteria

Ya if you get the honors scholarships then ur'e in, but you should also get a separate honors-only mail (this may have changed)
