Incoming Freshman Info Posted on 05-19-2005

Hey Bison, What up? It’s been official for a while, but I'll be attending HU in the fall on their Legacy scholarship (Thank the Lord. lol. My mother and I couldn't pay for it alone). I didn’t want to bother current Bison, but HU will NOT answer their phones, and when they do they try to rush you off the phone, and I end up feeling bad and don't get all of my questions answered. lol. but yeah If you'll don't mind, can you answer some questions for me. Thanks in advance. 1. I never took the SATII English, but a former student at HU told me that I'll just be told to write an essay on the first day of class, and from there they will place me accordingly. Is this correct? 2. My two best friends and I are trying to get a triple in Drew. I heard that we should arrive at the same time, which we plan on doing, but what are the odds that if we arrive early and together we will get it? 3. My sophomore year I would like to live in the Towers. Isn't one side available for sophomore students who are in their college's Honors program? If so, how and when can I apply for my college's Honors program, or do they just pick random students? 4. I have yet to take the Online Math Placement Exam. Is this required for incoming freshman, and when does it need to be completed by? I looked on line but couldn’t find any info on it, just the link that takes you to the test. 5. Last question ya'll, I promise. lol. When should we receive forms regarding house and what do they tell applicants. Ya'll I really appreciate this info. Good look. :grin:

1. Yessir this is true....when I spoke to the lady about it because it WAS a requirement for pre-orientation she told me the exact thing and she said that the SAT doesn't offer that writing test anymore....... 2. If you and your bestfriends arrive at the same time more than likely YOU WILL be able to room together....PROBLEM IS...I hear there is only one triple on each floor in Drew sooooo good luck with that....Tell the people ya'll packed some stuff together (I heard that works good) 3. SORRY SIR I AM NOT SUREEEE 4. Yes you do have to take the math placement exam....do it now vs later.... 5. Forms will come later in the summer....I'll project July....mid July at that...What exactly will be within that information sent out concerning housing I do not know...More than likely....rules....do's and dont's....

Thanks Nahd, I appreciate that. So I guess Im ready for Hu now. And I need to go ahead and complete that online math placement test. And do we choose classes during freshman week? Basically I guess I want to know whether or not Im home free until we ge there, regarding forms, requirements, etc.

I got a questions 2 Do transfer students have to take the math placement exam? Do they put transfers in Drew? If not where do they mostly go? And when i come early for band camp isn't that an advantage over most things?

Hey Heatmakerz05 I got a question for you. On your financial aid packet (if you receieved it) did it include your legacy scholarship. Because I got that too but they put some other loan stuff down. I think I need to call them tomorrow and check.

Yeah mine wasn't even on there either Dannie. It also wasn't online, but my mother called and within a few hours it was up online and the lady informed my mother that they were sending another one. So yeah, definitely call.

So did they stick you with a whole bunch of loans too. How long ago did you get yours? Well, I'm definitely going to clear this up tomorrow. And they better not say they gave all the money away.

Yeah they did, but I haven't accepted them yet. But um.........I think my mother and I have to come up with like around $8,900. I can either accept that loan, or pay for it. So have you checked online to see if they included it on there? I got mine like a week ago. And I'm praying that you do get this cleared up. Keep me updated, you got me worrying about you now.LOL

Well I'm kinda worried too because the process takes so long especially since I'm on the west coast. For example, I just found out like 4:00 Pacific time. But I can't call today because it's already 7:00 EST. Everytime I find something out I have to wait another day before I can try to clear it up. But I'm pretty sure the financial aid office peeps know my voice by now. I really need this to be cleared up because I have another scholarship that needs to know how much unmet need I have. But I think everthing will be aiight. Don't worry.
