<p>I got the card but I haven’t heard anything about a merit scholarship…probably because I turned in my financial aid application late. Whoops. My card was quite personalized and from the Asst. Dir. of Admissions, so would that indicate a chance at a merit scholarship? Hopefully JeromeVergil is right about the correlation! :P</p>
<p>Heads up everyone early acceptance calls will start at 6:00 chicago time. no joke</p>
<p>^ What are you talking about?</p>

<p>I don’t think there’s a correlation between handwritten notes and merit aid. I got a card that was pretty specific and personal, but I never applied for aid.</p>
<p>I did not get any handwritten note :'(. Did they send them out to internationals ?</p>
