Accepted via email.

Applied early September, still under review

Quick question about student to faculty ratio. They say its 9-1. What exactly does that mean? Does that mean in every class, there will be roughly only 9 students alongside with you? Or does it plainly read and mean for every 9 students, there is 1 faculty member? I figure it would mean the latter. Apologies for dumb question.

It's the latter. Although the first one would be nice

Just received an email saying I was selected for full tuition Merit Scholarship. Totally shocked.

Wow, congrats!

Got another acceptance letter in the mail saying much of the same stuff, along with a very nice personal note. Still no mention of $$.

I also received a personal note, which I thought was a nice touch.

I didn't get the note. Would have been a warm and fuzzy.

They just take one thing your personal statement and make note of that. It's like 1-2 sentences lol. Nothing too fancy.

Accepted! Went complete October 24, received acceptance email December first. The email did not mention anything about scholarship money and I still haven't heard anything...

Me neither. I think for those of us whose numbers aren't extremely high have our scholarships determined later. I could be wrong but that's just me.

Probably. I really hope it's soon though. I hope all of the recent acceptances keep us updated on scholarship info.

I applied here last week, but still haven't received any notice of a status checker or email confirming they have received my application. How long did it take you guys? Should I follow up or just wait a bit first?

Mine took maybe 3 days because they had to determine my residency first. It wouldn't hurt to email them just to be sure they received your app. I did after not hearing back for a couple of days, and they were very helpful.

Mine also took 3 days from submission, just checked. I'd say wait til the end of this week, they are probably busier now than they were when I applied in late October. I don't think it would hurt at all if you emailed Thursday/Friday if you don't see anything

In via status checker. Under review less than a week.
