Any idea of RD release date?

Any new intel on the RD release date?

Waitlisted. 4.35W, IB diploma candidate, sports, music, leadership ECs.
Daughter accepted to the business school but there was no mention of Merit Scholarships. Does that mean she did not get one or does that typically come separately/later?
Villanova doesn’t really give merit scholarships except for the Presidential (and people who make finalist for Presidential). The Presidential finalists have already been notified. Congrats on your acceptance!

As someone who’s daughter was considering Villanova this application cycle, I feel inclined to share this here so that parents are informed about the school’s lack of support for one of it’s students.
anyone hear anything about the waitlist?
