I'm hoping for email.

Unfortunately, it comes via good old USPS, about 7-10 days after decision rendered.

[AlphaIncipiens]

Darn, they missed me this round. Looks like you guys applied a little bit before I did though. Congrats all!

[LHC]

Just got accepted via e-mail!

I applied 1/07, got an app. complete e-mail on 1/18 and decision today.

[ChiCity22]

Accepted this morning, hopefully I can get solid $ that would make attending reasonable.

I got an email today offering me a $5000 Public Service Award, guaranteeing a paid job ($5000) for the summer between years one and two. Anybody know anything about this?

I got the same thing. It sounds like a pretty good deal given job insecurity, guarantees getting your foot in the door somewhere. But I couldn't find any other info on it.

Got packet today, 15k per year renewable at 3.2 which I'm guessing is top 25%?

btw

thanks mail man for bending the crap out of everything!!!

[mora6577]

Received packet in the mail today! 25k per year renewable for all three years as long as I keep a 3.2. That's quite an incentive.

[denada!]

I'm in too! 25k/year.. but its still a pretty expensive school. I'll probably go visit the Chicago schools soon anyway and check it out in a few weeks

Congrats and hopefully in a few weeks all of this snow would have been melted.

Yeah, even with the scholarship I got, it would be cheaper to go to another school I was accepted to at sticker (still waiting on scholarship info from them, but the sticker price being almost half of DePaul was eye-opening).

Wow really? What school?

A lot of state schools in-state tuition are far cheaper than Depaul. For instance UNC in-state is $37,000 Cost Of Attendance whereas Depaul is 62,226. Even if one got a $25,000 scholarship to Depaul it would still be a little cheaper at UNC. This is also true for schools such as (Georgia, Alabama, Arizona, Utah, Florida etc). Even school like UIUC (53112) or Notre Dame (57505) that place way better in Chicago have a significantly lower COA. Depaul is a very expensive school but at least you get to live in Chicago.

I guess I was thinking he meant cheaper tuition, not total COA. That makes sense then.

According to status checker, my online status is decision rendered...how will I be notified of the decision?

+1

Just saw that a decision has been rendered for me as well.

Best of luck to you columbia86

Mattfi88,

Do we receive an email or a letter in the mail?

I am hoping for a substantial scholarship.

[Mattfl88]

Also judging from what has been said in this thread, it looks like status checkers update later that day and an email should be received with 48 hours. Scholarship info through USPS 7-10 days later.

I went complete on 1/31 and decision rendered today (2/7).

[ash8309]

DR 2/7 for me too. Best of luck to all.

Edit. Status checker now says "Accepted - Congratulations" Nice little Monday.

LSU, and that's counting their OOS tuition. Actually, that wasn't quite a fair example, because I don't know what COA for LSU is, but I'm sure Baton Rouge is cheaper than Chi-town.

Good luck y'all!

Withdrew today so hopefully my scholarship will be freed up for someone else who truly wants to go here. Good luck to all.
