In. but I am not sure whether they offer me scholarship, which is the only thing that help me determine which school to go to. anyone see a scholarship link somewhere?

It's mentioned in the official letter, which you get by logging in to the application website. Link at the bottom.

I logged in the ApplyYourself.com website and the decision letter does not mention scholarship. I guess that means no scholarship? If so, then I will congratulate to one of the guys on the wait list.

I'm IN...wow!
with $$ too

I do love Tepper...the animation was a beautiful touch...and very well done...
Congrats to fellow admits and hopefully GC waitlisters will join us too

And we're still quite early in the R2 decisions, so if you didn't get in, keep your hopes up...another school may be preparing your own acceptance letter as you read this

Best of luck to all

edit: way too many smileys I know...but that's how my face looks now

I am in, BUT, I will be attending McCombs in the fall. It was a pretty tough decision but in the end went with McCombs due to my focus in energy.

I'll be sending my decline of offer in the next few days. So, hopefully that helps make some waitlisters feel better. That's at least one spot that's now open.

Congrats to all that got in.

Is an accepted forum worth setting up? Or just wait for the FB group?
You waitlisters should set up a forum, I've been there, and commiseration and strategy are therapeutic.
Anyone have conditional acceptances with math classes to take?

If would be nice to have an admitted thread here for those of us that aren't going public with the news yet (or for quite some time). I won't be able to join the FB group unless I create a new FB account...

It's a private facebook group. Not even facebook friends can see that you're in it. The only people who can are other people in the group.
