dizzynoise has an interesting situation, though. I guess the leadership scholars endowment is offered outside the acceptance stuff. At least, that's what I gathered from some lazy googling.

for a supposed acceptance rate of only 16.1%, it seems rather strange that no one on here is getting rejected...

They only starting sending out in late Dec and seems like a few small batches of acceptances. They prob start rejecting people soon. A number of schools haven't sent out dings yet; some haven't sent out anything.

For those who just got accepted, when did you go into review according to the status checker? Been in review since 1/5 and still in review. Thanks.

I believe I was in review starting 1/14, then had a decision made and mailed on 2/4. i'm not by any means above the median in anything (3.3 162), so it all seems pretty random.

for those accepted and planning on attending, we should get a facebook group going for the class of 2014.

I went UR in mid Jan. I don't recall the exact date.

The amount of the scholly is dependent on the committee, which does interviews in March. You could get up to a full ride. I assume they decide how much they might give you before you interview and the interview is the final opportunity to get to know you. They're short and include a handful of people. Every person invited to interview is given the opp to get a scholly so we're not competing against each other.

I am really considering Maryland. I would like to find a roommate for the fall. I am very friendly and outgoing. I like to play hard and study hard. I would love a roommate who likes dogs as I will be getting one this summer. PLEASE message me if you are interested. FYI I have been looking at 39 LEX apartments-the two bedrooms are super nice!

thanks, where'd you find that? i've looked everywhere.

I called and asked. She said an email would come out soon. It is odd that it's not posted on the website.

I sent an email to the Director of Admissions about merit aid. Trying to leverage some big scholarships at peer schools. If they don't bite I'm withdrawing b/c it would be insane to go to Maryland at sticker.

[sabenser]

In by mail. No mention of a scholly

[gens1tb]

If things keep going the way they are it'll be a choice between MSU with 75% or Maryland at sticker...

Got acceptance letter on Monday, then yesterday received larger packet with a lot more information -- but nothing about scholarships whatsoever. Being as I'm from Philly PA, Temple is sounding quite good right about now...

[FrOhara1213]

I've been "under review" since 12/14 with absolutely no movement whatsoever. Why wait this long for an auto ding? I don't get it.

[HappyinDC]

Got my acceptance letter today So, is there a consensus that scholarship info comes in a separate letter?

The general consensus currently is if you don't get word of a scholarship in your acceptance mail, it's probably not coming

I disagree. Mine came in separate letters.

How much time was in between the acceptance letter and the scholly letter?
I received my admit packet today, but no scholly info.

[dizzynoise]

took me exactly one month to receive scholarship info:

accepted 1/11
scholarship letter 2/11

[cowgirl_bebop]

Sucks that we have to wait so long to find out what kind of money we will be getting. I had every intention of picking a school by then.

Tryna wait us out so you dont have to come up off the cash, huh Maryland?

[NCtoDC]

Yeah, I was hoping to know where I was going by March also..

I have only received scholarship info from one school.

[nelaw2010]

I was accepted in December, still no mention of money. 167, 3.0, URM.

Do you mind sharing your stats?

Accepted last week and received my admit package and scholarship invitation today.

Does anybody know how much money I could possibly get from going to the interview and how much money are they giving people who were invited to attend?
