<p>A few questions-- will the decision be online simulataneously with the mailing? We are in China and mail can take 4-6 weeks (if we even get it…)</p>
<p>Will merit awards be sent at the same time?</p>
<p>Very anxious in shanghai!</p>
<p>The decision will not be posted online. I received an email with my decision but the portal still shows that the admission process is in it’s final stages. The merit awards will be sent through mail only though - the email only notifies you of the decision only.</p>
<p>Thank you for the info</p>
<p>If we call once the decision comes via email, will they be willing to tell us if she is eligible for merit moneys?</p>
<p>I have no clue about that !</p>

<p>Reflection:
Really hoping for a good financial aid package. UR is my top choice.</p>
<p>Are all the letters mailed at once?</p>
<p>No. It would overwhelm the local post office if all the letters were mailed at once. Letters are released in 3 -4 “waves” a day or so apart.</p>
<p>Just received my acceptance letter today 
But i wanted to know if it doesn’t mention HEOP does that mean I did not get in or are they stating whether I got into HEOP in a separate letter?</p>

<p>On my application check it says I havent submitted my midyear grades yet, but they havent emailed me or anything about it?</p>
<p>it looks like all the people who are accepted received letters today. Did anyone who receive the letter not being accepted?</p>
<p>AHHH 
I live in the Chicago area and I haven’t gotten a letter yet. Does this mean I’m basically just waiting on a rejection at this point?</p>
<p>the decisions come in waves…don’t worry too much. btw, I live in Rochester and I haven’t got yet…</p>
<p>I live in California, and I didn’t receive anything yet. Since all the people(including my friends and the people on cc) who got letters yesterday are accepted, I’m really nervous…</p>
