My daughter did an interview for Stamps as well and hasnāt heard anything about merit. She is now waiting to hear if she made it to the next round. I see you posted this a bit ago so not sure if you are still waiting to hear on either Stamps or Merit. If you are - best of luck!

Where was the congratulatory letter (PDF) in the portal? She received the email and the buttons in the portal but no letter.
Everything has been very slow. My daughter was accepted before Christmas. Today she received a Pitt notebook and stickers in the mail. Still hoping for merit.

Letter is snail mail. Might take a whileā¦
Same here.
Yes, my daughter was accepted back in early Oct and just received the notebook. Then again, our Christmas cards which I mailed back on 12/20 are just now arriving at peopleās homes. The mail is ridiculous these days.
@ttb1263 - My daughter has similar stats and is also OOS, so I am curious to know if your daughter or son was offered an scholarship.
She received 20K/yr University scholarship.
