<p>I just got my letter at about 8:40 this morning by FedEx saying that I've been accepted and identifying me as a finalist for their full-tuition Renaissance scholarship. Unfortunately...that invovles a visit to campus which I can't do for financial reasons although they pay for up to $250 of the expenses. Oh well...I got in so yay!</p>
<p>Congratulations! Did you apply RD or ED?</p>
<p>Congrats! Call admissions and/or financial aid to see if they can provide a work-around for the $$ to get you to the visit.</p>
<p>I applied RD, which is why I'm psyched that I've heard so early. I guess my application was stronger than I thought because I didn't think I'd get in and I DEFINITELY didn't think I'd be a finalist for a scholarship</p>
<p>RD decisions out already? so they don't wait until april to notify everyone at the same time?</p>
<p>Congratulations! Wow, that's really early for RD! Where are you located? Are you in the Northeast? I wonder if other envelopes are on their way!</p>
<p>I think they will only notify people who are selected as Renaissance Scholars, cause I had to know early because the Scholar Weekend is in March</p>
<p>oh and I'm in the South which means I get everything last most of the time..... :(. Just as an update I called and they said they'll reimburse 90% of my travel expenses so I'm just going to borrow the money</p>
<p>...same here. Got my letter via FedEx yesterday. I was really surprised...</p>
<p>We're in the North, and one of d's friends just got the FedEx yesterday, too. So ShaquitaPack, you weren't late this time. Unfortunately, d didn't get it, but we really didn't expect her to. So we just have to continue waiting . . .</p>
