<p>I was waitlisted. what do they mean by "short, unranked waiting list?" and they said I have to notify them by May 1st if i want to be on the list...can I still accept to other schools and then see if i end up getting in and then accept after? It's not my first choice I just want to know.</p>
<p>Ah, I got into the College of Arts and Sciences with a $10,000 Dean's Scholarship. Hip hip!</p>
<p>website is down :(</p>
<p>where do you guys that got scholarships see the merit aid link? is it on the left side of the page? i dont see mine so maybe that means i didnt get anything</p>
<p>Just let it sit and load. And like the poster above said, if you notice the links on the left hand sid that say "financial aid," "merit aid," etc., you're probably in.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I got accepted to business. not going to list my stats cause they are way worse than the rest of yours, like everyones. The bummer is I only got $500 in aid and less than 2800 in loans! Maybe some more money will open up.</p>
