@siameseninja, one thing I’ve learned about this process of admissions and scholarships is you need to be patient. It does not move fast, nor should it because you want AO’s to give each candidate a fair review. Given the time (and money investment) each candidate puts into their application, everyone deserves a fair review of their paperwork and worthiness for merit aid. When you do the high level numbers for a school of this size, it’s a daunting task for an Admissions staff to get through all of this paperwork and try to stay on deadlines.
