Got the email today too along with lots of scholly $$$. I respect their strategy of not giving you the full ride unless you commit to attend.

In today with some $.

Does anyone know how they determine what amounts people get? I'm sure no one does, but figured I'd ask. People with my numbers (on lsn) seemed to be getting two different scholly amounts, so I was curious.

They send fee waivers to get their applicant numbers up.

Any chance we get the acceptance package in the mail today after being admitted last Thursday?

Lots of variables I'd imagine, but if you're talking about a prior cycle, a big one could be the timing of the app. Early applications give you the best chance to get the most money.

I was admitted 1/20 and still haven't received my acceptance package yet :( but then again I am in SoCal and I'm guessing the storm played a huge part in why I haven't received it yet

Hopefully we get it this week!

Yeah definitely be patient. You cannot imagine how much a snowstorm like that cripples DC.

I live on the East Coast and haven't received it either (admitted 1/20). I think we were in a pretty big wave of acceptances.

DC has massive traffic backups and accidents when there's 2-3 inches of snow. They got over 2 feet of it. They're still probably panicking about it a week later.

OPM wasn't opening normally without a delay until Friday. Still a lot of places in the city with lots of snow on the ground when I flew out yesterday, though the streets and sidewalks are all at least cleared now.

Hey is anyone going to the admitted students event tonight in DC? I'm assuming it's business casual attire - do people bring family members? My mom is visiting DC and I wasn't sure if it would be cool for her to come

I'm conflicted on when to submit the scholarship reconsideration request. I have a couple other scholarship offers (only one that is truly competitive), and trying to decide if I should wait to hear back from some other, more competitive schools before sending my reconsideration request. Anyone willing to share their thoughts on negotiation strategy? :lol:

Me me me me! I'm coming from work so I'm already in business casual. More on the casual side than "business casual".

I was accepted 1/20 and didnt get my package until today. I think they were backed up from the storm they had in DC

Is it weird that I got admitted and have heard nothing yet about scholarship info? Does that mean my package is zero? Wicked confused.

Complete sometime first week of January, accepted 1/20.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
