I asked via email.

What did you do exactly? I have very similar numbers so I'm curious.

I said that their letter mentioned that I could send in transcript updates and asked if I could send another LOR. They said nope. Just Transcripts, updated resume's, and LOCI

So you didn't find out that you were held by emailing them yourself, did you? They sent out the initial "your held" email, right?

I know financial aid decisions won't be made until late March, but I have read that some people have received scholarships. Was this included with acceptance letters?

Yeah, they have merit half and full scholarship notification included with the initial acceptance letters.

If you are referring to Butler/Hamilton, then yes, they come with the initial NCE.

On that note, since they do recycle the named scholarships, does anyone know how a butler might come back around to an already admitted student if its initial owner withdrew from CLS?

Thanks. Hope I get some $$$ in March!

Accepted today! Pleasant surprise to find it sitting in my mailbox. Dated 2/14.

I guess if I didn't get Butler/Hamilton, I have to just sit tight until end of March to see what's up with the financial situation?

Congrats!!

I'm officially giving up hope. That'll at least make me happier.

Depends if they decide to forget about you or not.

Yeah, judging by my experience at least 5 months, possibly longer.

I find this simultaneously liberating and infuriating.

Anybody know the deal for the admitted student days in early March? RSVPed and saw the schedule online, but was wondering if any details had been sent out.

Still nothing. Getting nervous. Happy for new admits, though.
