Great news, I just checked the portal (10:15am EST 1/29/2017) and got in!

Good luck to everyone else!

Question: Where would we find out about potential scholarship money?

Was wondering the same about scholarship money. Congrats to admits!

Congratulations to you guys too.

bigo2398, what do you mean by 'potential scholarship money'? Was anything mentioned in your update regarding money (except for deposit, of course)?

Nope. No mention of anything. Apparently in previous years, a separate letter is sent later (still today) with any scholarship information
