<p>The blog from today states:</p>
<p>Scholarship Decisions: Only scholarship winners will receive notification of their scholarship decisions. If you have received a scholarship, you may view the letter in your College Admissions account. There is no waiting list for the scholarships and you may not appeal your decision if you did not receive a merit scholarship.</p>
<p>Has any lucky CCer received scholarships? :)</p>
<p>Unfortunately not me. :(</p>
<p>My FA offer was better than decent, so I’m okay with money, but it sure would’ve been nice to have the bragging rights to that. Oh well.</p>
<p>I’d be interested in seeing who got merit money from them. :)</p>
<p>MilesAndEvans13: did you get your FA offer online?</p>
<p>wait yeah is the financial aid offer package online? and if so how do you access it? all it says on my financial aid application page is that i submitted it, but then again I did send it kind of late…</p>
<p>I second MilesAnd Evans13’s question - where did you go your financial aid info. i was under the impression that those were all coming out via snail mail, but having it online would be so much more convenient.</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure MilesandEvans13 applied and got in EA, i remmeber seeing him posting stuff back on the EA thread. us EA admits got the financial info about…2 weeks after we got the official letter. i dont think UChicago post FA info online.</p>
<p>I was an EA admit. 
Sorry for the confusion, guys.</p>
<p>Despite the masculinity of my name, I am also female…the name is an homage to Miles Davis and Bill Evans, two of my favorite jazzers. ;)</p>
<p>Yeah, I know I didn’t get any merit scholarships, but it would be nice to see if anyone on here did. I’m just happy to be accepted.</p>
<p>I didn’t get any either. Someone on CC must’ve, though!</p>
<p>ahh, i see. so it would be pretty safe to say that we’ll just have to hold tight for another week or two…so we can get our financial aid packet of death…</p>
<p>Last year’s Merit award letter was dated March 19 (I think the same day decisions came out).</p>
<p>Me and I’m really grateful but it’s only the $10,000 one and I probably am not getting FA. So I guess I’m not going to Chicago…</p>
<p>I got the $10,000 one :):):)</p>
<p>I got the $10,000 scholarship. But my FA package was awful and this isn’t enough to help, so no Chicago for me. I actually prefer Chicago over MIT (to the astonishment of a lot of people), but there’s no question when MIT costs half as much.</p>
<p>How are EA applicants informed of the possible merit money?</p>
<p>A previous post suggested this could be viewed on line. I gather if you can’t see/find it in your college admissions account, you didn’t get merit aid. Is that right?</p>
<p>Eisenstein, you are not alone in preferring Chicago to MIT. My S did also. Each are fabulous schools in their own way.</p>
<p>@Zetesis: Yeah, if you can’t see it you didn’t get it.</p>
<p>It was the same as the “click here to view your decision letter.” But you don’t see both at the same time so I didn’t know I got the scholarship until about 2 hours later when I logged back in to show my mom and there was a second link that said “click here to view your scholarship letter.”</p>
<p>I got the partial scholarship but couldn’t be happier. Not to mention it definitely gave me more faith in holistic application review because I know that scholarship wasn’t for my GPA.</p>
<p>100 applicants were deemed University
Scholars and awarded the amount of $10,000. 30 applicants received full scholarships.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If some of the 100 people offered University Scholars decide to matriculate elsewhere, what happens? Does Chicago offer the scholarships to other people?</p>
