I heard they dont got any more scholarship money :(
Oh noooo 😭
@7Rings: I’ve heard that if you go to the status checker you can get an idea of what the decision is. 1. If it has a seat deposit section then it’s an A and 2. The section that talks about Transcript, it should say YES
@ResoluteTroubledSkunk: hey I applied late December. Have you received anything as of yet?
Where did you hear that they don't have any more scholarship money?!
@Error0305: Where did you hear that they don't have any more scholarship money?!

@AbidingHellishCheese: thank you so much!
Can confirm they’re not awarding any additional merit-based scholarships until after April 10 and you need to pay your deposit by April 1st. So, if you’re hoping for a scholarship and haven’t received one yet or are waiting for reconsideration, then it’s likely that you’ll be in situation where you have to pay and commit to the school before you know if you receive any. Hope this helps someone, best of luck🤝
