Who cares?

Since I don’t qualify for need base I was hoping it was merit. That’s why.

Who cares????

as someone who got a full tuition merit, i qualify for zero need based aid lol. it def matters to people.

I just meant that a scholarship is a blessing and the reason it was bestowed is less relevant

 

[C3H7NO3]

for people who got merit scholarships - did you have to ask on the phone "did i get a scholarship" or did they simply tell you unprompted?
simply curious, i got the full tuition but had to ask "did i get a scholarship" when they asked "do you have any questions" at the end of the call

last year it doesn't sound like they called anyone on the saturday. they were up pretty late calling people tonight!

Yes, Saturday calls are very unlikely.

 

[ThThT]

^^ yeah what’s probability calls come in tmr :,)

I think it's very unlikely but you can hope for February.

If I wasn't told I got a scholarship is it safe to assume I didn't get one?

Prob not merit based, but need based is still in play

 

[applebananacherry]

+1 OOS II! Just submitted an update + interest letter not too long ago. Nashville is so cool, but asynchronous Kira interview is so uncool. Any tips for the asynchronous portion from people who've interviewed?

It was one of the better Kira interviews I've done actually, it only takes like 10-15 minutes compared to the longer faculty interview 🙂 I don't even remember the questions so that's how you know it's not too bad.

[morak]

OOS A via mail today! I didn't receive a phone call earlier or any other communication, so pleasantly surprised but not sure if it's real?

wtf bro now i want to go back very badly to my dorm wtff, did accepted people get an update on their portal?

 

[mac...]

OOS A via mail and no call. Has anyone's portal updated?

 

[kidcat]

OOS A via mail and no call. Has anyone's portal updated?

are you mstp or regular md? and is it post office mail or email?

 

[AvI2003]

has anyone who got in gotten any updates to their portals?

I’m not seeing any portal updates and I got the call on 12/19 that I was accepted as well (MD A). Also got a mail. However I wasn’t told I got any scholarship so I probably think I didn’t get any scholarship but I’m glad I got in. I sent an email asking when the Portal would be updated as the letter said we need to accept in the Portal in 2 weeks.

 

[AvI2003]

AHHH got the call just now!! OOS MD

Congrats. I got the call on 12/19 as I was headed to the Caribbean with my family on Xmas vacation. No scholarship was mentioned in the call. Came home and I also got a snail mail. However the Portal is not updated for me to accept. I’m OOS as well (MD acceptance)

Is your portal update. I got the call on 12/19 (5 minutes before I was about to board my flight for Xmas holiday with the fam). I also got a mail but portal is not yet updated. Sent them an email asking about it today. I’m OOS MD A.

Same here. I sent them an email and hope to hear back on Monday. I got the call and also the letter by postal mail so just hoping the portal should be available next week to formally accept
