R1 2018 admit from Canada with a questions on scholarships (for those that received one): In my admission offer their is no mention of any scholarship, just a congrats on admission. I am assuming this means I wasn't fortunate enough to receive one but, I am wondering is there somewhere I can verify? How were those of you that received a scholarship notified?

I have heard that Booth mentions scholarships over the phone but once I got the good news from the adcom my brain kind of zoned out and started doing mental cartwheels and I can't recall the rest of the convo.

All help would be appreciated!

Besides the call, there is also a letter describing the scholarship on the website, together with the admission link.

As SaoMarcos mentioned, the scholarship letter is available in your application status page, though it can be hard to find. Click "View Update" in your application to see your acceptance letter with the virtual confetti. Scroll down to the bottom of the letter and you will see "The Following Letters Are Available for This Account." The first link will be your interview invite, the second will be your decision letter (currently selected), and the final link (if applicable) will be your scholarship letter.

What do you mean by "package" exactly?

They shipped mine on 12/11. I saw the dreaded "package missed" notice from FedEx on my building yesterday evening. I'm in New York. I would imagine it will be a few more days if you're overseas, but I'd guess you'll have it by the end of the week.

I have no idea what exactly the contents are, but I can tell you that the package is evidently something like 11x14x3 (inches) and it cost way too much to have FedEx reroute it to my office (the latter of which is not Booth's fault).

Yes. I got my swag scarf.

I wonder if these are for wearing or hanging on your wall. I can't imagine too many people actually wear these on campus or around Chicago.

Hi guys !

I am a second round applicant. Could you guys please share what word count did you submit your essays/presentations with ? I am in the drafting phase staring at about a 1000 words essay but I am aiming for about 800 words essay with some pictures interspersed in between? What do you think ?

Mine was around 1200 words, but I really think that it does not matter - just make sure that you say everything you want to say (but not making it too long).

Thanks a lot Idah0 for your comments.

I understand it's about getting the message across clearly and concisely so I will try to keep it near a 1000 words. Can anyone else also share how long/what formats their essays were ?
