<p>IF we get in, do they tell us our aid/merit stuff on the portal too? Also, anyone know what time decisions came out last year?</p>
<p>any international who applied for FA</p>
<p>@Nekogami Likewise. I got into WUSTL and UNC Chapel Hill (OOS-Intl) over the past few months, but I really want to get into Brandeis. The essay I wrote was extremely close to my heart, and on a very very contentious issue in Indian political and legal circles. I hope it was appreciated. </p>
<p>Is it definitely 7pm EST? </p>
<p>@preamble1776 based on what other users said + past years yeah I think so </p>
<p>7:01pm and nothing… lol</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they’re sending an e-mail out once the decisions are up</p>
<p>I GOT ACCEPTED IM CRYING </p>
<p>Wow! Congrats! Wah…so lucky…</p>
