I received one from all three, unsolicited. What are your stats? Columbia's is usually hidden and they eventually send you an email afterwards telling you that you've received one.

If you're signed up for CRS, then you should receive one soon. You can always try to solicit one if you get tired of waiting, but Columbia will probably tell you to wait for CRS.

Thanks for the heads up! Just got on the email and sent emails to all the T14 ('cept HYS) about giving me some fee waivers!
Can't wait to get paid and finish apps, so I can focus on other things.
On a different note :Anyone get that Michigan booklet with the nice little hand written note in it? That place has some legit architecture lol

Everyone gets a hand written (albeit slightly different) note on their Michigan promo materials. Didn't notice the architecture, too busy day dreaming about their mac n cheese days.

My kitchen is so tiny it's no room to prep things to cook anything big. I basically live in a studio.
