<p>ethanrt - Where did you get the 55 pages from?</p>
<p>Congrats Tiffanyst12! Are both of the required documents related to Financial Aid from our university? Thanks! Congrats again!</p>
<p>Congrats Tiffanyst12! Hopefully alot more CC notifications to come! </p>
<p>lingotjuice, when you checked your status, did you select option #1 or #2 at the start of the call, and does anybody elses go through?</p>
<p>55 pages, referring to the number of pages in this thread.</p>
<p>Congrats Tiffany!</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone. Geez, now I'm wicked nervous!</p>
<p>Hoping to hear more good news from everyone, including myself!</p>
<p>I hope everyone of us wins!</p>
<p>hey Tiffanyst12, how many ap classes r offered at ur school?<br>
do u think they read our essays again?</p>
<p>congrats tif, I'm still trying to verify my citizenship but hopefully will hear back from them soon</p>
<p>oh hamman, i have confirmed my citizenship today...i went to social security office and showed them my passport. They said the info will be updated in 24 hrs. and now i corrected my FAFSA and SAR says that it has confirmed my citizenship. So, now I can just resubmit my SAR...i thought mayb u could try this also...this is way better than getting a financial aid award letter!</p>
<p>I pressed 1</p>
<p>Anyone else try this? I would but I'm too scared to try. :)</p>
<p>i'm scared also...i don't wanna try...im really scared. just like everyone else, i really really want to win this scholarship...</p>
<p>I just called and it did not go through for DD, she faxed her materials on the 14th. If I read post #725 of lingotjuice correctly, you did not fax yours in till at least the 22nd or after? We have recently moved, so our mail delivery takes an extra day or two because of it being forwarded. :(</p>
<p>GA2012MOM - </p>
<p>I wouldn't be too worried about it. Perhaps different ethnicities make decisions at different times. Just hang on for another 2 weeks and you'll find out for sure.</p>
<p>i was rejected. oh well. I wasn't even expecting a decision, considering the fact that i didn't even complete my application (already got a full ride to Penn, so i really didn't need it hehehe)</p>
<p>Tiffanyst12: Once again, big congrats and thank you for answering all of our questions! I just want to know if you'd received an email first before you'd received the packet.</p>
<p>Esviel (aka SVL): Are you talking about being rejected as a finalist or as a scholar?</p>
<p>I submitted my papers about three or four days I received the email. I hope I get contacted of good news soon! So excited yet scared!</p>
<p>OMG~~ congratulations!!!
