So I can use outside scholarships to reduce the loan/work costs which is great!
Has anyone who has been accepted gotten anything in the mail from Case?
@emccor99 No, I think people were saying that something should come in the mail eventually, but it might be awhile. I forgot exactly when!
All Iâve gotten is the regular short informational postcardsâŠ
@smilingalong @malvernvarna Haha thatâs good to hear, glad they havenât forgotten about me
