<p>ZincWhiskers: Congrats! I will be applying next year to the Rosenstiel School for class of 2016 with roughly the same stats, so I have high hopes now! :)</p>
<p>got my Singer scholarship invite email!</p>
<p>mangofan, did the invite email mention anything about the Stamps Scholarship?</p>
<p>Mango, was the Singer email also in your myUM account as a message? Was it an actual invitation or a “we are considering you for a Singer” note?
