Happy that I got in to CS, but not sure whether I’ll be attending. It will all depend on my other schools’ decisions.</p>
<p>i got my letter today
im international btw</p>
<p>im soo happy 
:D</p>
<p>expecting to get within this week in that case…</p>
<p>Have any early action applicants received financial aid or honors program information yet? If not, does anyone know when to expect the letter? I know a couple RD applicants who have gotten merit scholarships and I’ve seen some CC posts concerning honors, so I’m confused as to why I haven’t received any letters yet.</p>
<p>^^
I don’t think the financial aid information is out yet, especially since the deadline for the FAFSA (March 15th) hasn’t even passed. As for honors programs, I think each college has its own deadlines (though they don’t make them public). From what I’ve heard from other people, the Engineering school has notified those who qualify James Scholar this past weekend-ish by mail, and the business school will notify those accepted to the honors program this Friday, though those applicants should have already gone through an interview. Unfortunately that’s all I’ve heard about so far; other colleges I’m sure are notifying applicants about honors stuff around this time too, though.</p>
