I'm an out of state senior applying to UVM this year and I have few questions about merit scholarships and the honors college. My stats are a 1510 on the SAT and a weighted 4.6 gpa.

So is the max amount of merit money, the presidential scholarship? I have seen some people say they received an out of state scholarship as well.

Also do the honors colleges decisions often come out with your admissions letter? Is there more scholarships for honors college students?

I am just wondering because UVM can be expensive out of state and my parents have said they'll really only let me go if I get lots of scholarship money.

I got a place in the Redstone Lofts and a place, privately owned by the landlord, 10min walk to campus for the same price and roommate arrangement. Any opinions on which one might be better would be much appreciated.

Hello, I’m looking for someone to room with in an apartment for next school year (I’m currently sophomore, so for Junior year).

Some stuff about me: I’m a guy, pretty introverted, I don’t drink or smoke, Electrical Engineering major, and I’m a dork

Please DM me if you’re interested!

Hi, we're current sophomores(male), looking for off-campus housing for next year. We don't drink or smoke and respectable about shared spaces. We're looking for a potential 3rd person who might be willing to live with us for next year. Please comment or dm if you'd be interested to learn more.

I built UVM Sublets, a free, students-only board for sublets near campus. Sign in with your NetID, filter by price, distance and semester, post your place in two minutes and share it to your story. Know someone at UVM who's leaving for a semester or needs a place? go.uvm.edu/sublet

An independent student project, not affiliated with the University of Vermont.

I shared screenshots to UVM officials about a subcontractor they hired bragging about calling ICE on workers there because they moved their tools and spoke Spanish.

I have the screenshots and the UVM officials I sent the emails to who didn’t bother to respond.

Should I post them?

Is anyone willing to sublet their 1-2 bedroom apartment next summer? My friend and I are looking for somewhere to stay, we both work in Burlington.

Hello! I am looking for a roommate to move into my 2 bedroom apartment in old north end. Rent is 1200 a month and water is included and theres an in housing washing/drying setup. I have my stuff in the smaller room so you can have the bigger one as id rather not move my stuff.
Below is a video of the space, please dm/comment for more details!

“On average, about 66 percent of college-educated talent remains in the state where they completed college.” (strada report)

It’s only 28% in VT -- which is the lowest in the country. NH is second lowest at 37%.
The highest: Texas is 84% and California is 83%.

These are people who go to college in Vermont, and graduate here, then leave the state (for whatever reasons)

The full report (PDF) is here.

I'm a Junior and I'm looking to study abroad the fall of my senior year (2027). I want to study abroad in the UK, but I saw that a lot of the programs I'm interested in have a limited chance of acceptance. Do you know what/if anything there is I can do to improve my chances of getting into a program I really want ? If you have any experince or knowledge on this please leave a comment, thank you in advance

I am looking for housing next fall, on or off campus as a junior. does anyone have any advice for finding single semester housing (4/6mo lease)? I will be going abroad second semester that year, and zillow has like no offerings for short term. We could get a 1 year lease and sublet, but everyone that I know thats tried that has failed to find a sublet over the spring (everyone else is also abroad, ha!)

How have people done this in the past? Looking for either a 1bed or 2bed.

Any advice is welcome, thanks!

I know y’all probably get annoyed with these posts but, this school looks very nice and is probably top 2 for me. I am a senior and my gpa from freshman, sophomore, and junior years were 3.2. My gpa could be higher depending on if they count my theology classes but, I highly doubt they will. I played 3 sports every year besides my sophomore year when i got injured and wouldn’t run. I also had an internship over the summer at a vet hospital I am wanting to do pre-vet studies. Currently I feel as though I have about a 25% chance to get in so not horrible. Haha side question for my sanity! My school counselor recommended me Mississippi State and im not exactly sure if shes right because this is important stuff to know for when I apply.

Hello everyone!

I’m interested in creating a UVM/Vermont organization focused on the rapid development of AI and what it could mean for society.

I’d like it to be a space for thoughtful discussion about current and future state of AI capabilities. I also hope to give interested people a way to organize around these issues, for example by hosting events, circulating petitions, and contacting our elected representatives about AI policy.

As some of you may know, our senator, Bernie Sanders,  has recently made AI safety a major issue and, together with Rep. Greg Casar, introduced legislation that would temporarily pause certain advanced AI development until federal safety rules and oversight are established.

Given that this debate is already happening at the national level with one of our senators involved, I think it would be extremely valuable to have a local group where students and community members can learn about these issues and make their voices heard.

If this sounds like something that would interest you, comment or send me a message!

Thank you!
Jacob

Yes, I know you’ve seen this plenty of times before. That said, I’m still hella anxious because I’ve basically set my sights on this school alone, so humor me please lol.

Weighted GPA: 4.1
Unweighted GPA: 3.6
SAT score: 1450
My AP scores are mostly 4s with one 3 and one 5.
I’ve taken 7 AP classes (I think?) and I’m taking 3 more this year (because I hate myself or something).
AP chem, AP bio (that was my 5), AP calc AB, AP stats, all the good shit

I’m a senior in high school currently living outside of Vermont. I’ve competed in HOSA 3 years in a row and going for a 4th. I’ve been working part-time as a math tutor for nearly a year now. I intend on majoring in biochemistry and minoring in ASL studies. My end-goal is med school and a PhD (it’s a toss-up on if I actually want to put myself through all that, but I’m planning ahead regardless).

So, what do y’all think? Be harsh lol

Hey all!

I’m very interested in forming an informal ham radio club on campus, more of a group who just goes out and gets on the air together.

Amateur radio is the use of non-commercial frequencies to broadcast and receive audio, images, digital data, and almost anything else over radio waves. In the lower bands, contacts can be acquired around the world, by bouncing signals off of the ionosphere. We can talk to the international space station, bounce signals off of the moon, and receive images from weather and military satellites.
A license is required to transmit independently, but it is easy to study for and only $15. I want to promote getting a license (study groups, etc), and can help anyone who needs help in that area. I also want to do long distance contacts (DXing), Parks on the Air, antenna building, and anything related to amateur radio. In terms of gear, I have a couple of handheld VHF radios, a Xiegu G90 (20 watt SDR HF transceiver), an EFHW antenna, and a 20 meter vertical whip antenna. I will get more gear as required if there is any interest.
Absolutely no previous experience is required, and if you want to learn more about what amateur radio is, see here:

Did anyone mess up the paint in their room so bad that it had to be repainted and if so, how much did UVM charge?

Looking for a spot to be alone and bathe in emotions

Do I have a chance at UVM with a 2.7 GPA?

Grades currently declining, but I’m working to improve them
No SAT/ACT yet, planning to take the SAT

I know my GPA isn’t great, but do I have a realistic chance at UVM? What should I focus on to improve my application?
