Anyone have a timeline or similar update?
has anyone hear back about sadie? i saw someone put 04/26 but that's like a future date so i'm confused
Somebody called fin aid and decisions should be out this week
Someone called financial aid office specifically to ask about the Sadie scholarship?
Yes but some decisions came out this morning
Last year they released an update on the WL around this time -- hopefully they do something similar this week as well?
I was rejected from the waitlist
So things are moving
When were you rejected from the WL?
