<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to Xavier…?: I received a $14,000 scholarship which I was absolutely shocked that I received because my GPA wasn’t the highest. As far as going to Xavier I do not know yet. The scholarship definitely bumps it up on my college list. Congrats to all that get accepted!</p>

<p>If I applied December 1, when do you think I will get my decision?
From the previous posts it seems like after a month and a half?</p>

<p>Also is the decision through the mail or email?</p>

<p>@sdwang, I believe it takes 4-6 weeks from what they said in the e-mail. Also, the decision is sent through the mail.</p>

<p>@supporthree, Thank you! I never got an email or letter saying my application is complete/under review… Is this normal?</p>

<p>I don’t mean to brag or boast, but it seems like it isn’t always about the grades…I only have a 3.4 and a 1660 SAT, (all schools that accepted me so far got the 1570) but I’ve gotten over $315,000 dollars in scholarships so far from 10 schools and I still have like 15 more to go.</p>
