<p>Comments: Quite happy, got waitlisted at WUSTL, so this was a nice surprise. Now a little apprehensive over financial aid, which is the main determining factor whether or not I get to go. :</p>
<p>Accepted but I am not so sure their financial aid policy is truthful… They are in Questbridge which means they should have given me a full ride for my families income and assets, according to their policy. I only got 2/3. Def not attending here now… not even gonna visit. I will go somewhere where they are honest about their financial aid… Good luck to everybody else. I hope Northwestern keeps it’s promise. At least Middlebury did.</p>

<p>S got waitlisted at Emory; Accepted at Northwestern, Rice, and Vandy! I believe he didn’t show enough interest in Emory as he didn’t apply for the Emory Scholars Program even though his stats are reasonable SAT1-1600/2320 (supercored), SATII-800, 750, 730, ACT 34, UWGPA of 4.0, Rank 3/603.</p>
<p>hey guys i’m a little confused
i received an email today stating that the decision was to be released today at 7 est,
but I received my decision email about 10 days ago</p>
<p>“Your admission decision will be available online through the OPUS system, and will be posted at 8:00 am on Saturday, March 20, 2009. Decisions will remain posted until April 15, 2009. We will also mail your decision letter on Saturday, March 20.”</p>
