<p>I see all these messages from people who have heard… AU is my first choice. I have not hear ANY thing. I think they send in batches. Does anyone know how it works? Today I was told that all the letters were mailed last Friday…On the other hand, they say we should wait until April 1st. Confused and anxious.</p>
<p>My “S” got no scholarship and a minimal AU Grant- practically nothing. Although, they did come close to meeting our EFC. We were hoping for a higher scholarship since that is renewable for 4 yrs.</p>
<p>AU still only uses the SAT CR/Math for scholarships - not Writing (Writing was 770). He had a CR 670, MA630, GPA (UW)3.85. No scholarship - must be a very strong class for 2010-2011.</p>
<p>At this point we’ll be looking elsewhere.</p>
<p>Wish everyone the best, but 52K/yr is a lot of dough!</p>
<p>I have yet to hear either! I live on the west coast so the mail is probably just taking forever but still!</p>
<p>i live on the west coast and i havent gotten mine either. however, two of my friends who live out here have. im freaking out. i havent gotten anything, either acceptance or rejection. whats the deal american?</p>
<p>I just spoke to admissions and they said that all admission decisions have been sent out. The only thing left to do is wait!</p>

<p>Hey guys,
I was accepted to AU and although it was not my top choice, i did get a tempting scholarship. Seeing as this thread is titled, “class of 2014,” I’m guessing a lot of you are decided on American.</p>
<p>I’m wondering if anyone can tell me why they are choosing the school? I really don’t know too much about it- I applied b/c of the music business program but could anyone speak to the social scene/ student body? What are you guys looking forward to, etc??</p>
<p>ACCEPTED! :D</p>

<p>^BBB - Did you just receive your package today?</p>
<p>I haven’t heard yet, and when I look online it doesn’t say either…</p>
<p>I talked to an admissions representative today and she said that they students would receive their decisions in the mail by April 1 the latest, but probably sometime next week. Try not to stress about decisions. Best of luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I still haven’t received my package. But, I got an email inviting me to a reception “in honor of [my] acceptance.” This is in San Francisco, hope that helps :)</p>
<p>Still waiting here on Long Island for my son to hear. His friend got his at the end of last week and only lives about 4 towns away. I thought this was a safety school for my son and he would get scholarship money, but now I am getting nervous- no email, nothing but the general email about the waiting for the letters of acceptance and rejection time being almost over.</p>
<p>Waitlisted at American, but accepted to NYU…something wrong with this?</p>
<p>^^ same. I got accepted into colleges more competitive than American as well, but I got waitlisted at American. </p>
