@Komz1304 happened to my friends as well. Seems like DePauw is giving everyone some aid but noone enough.
@TrishaAgarwal I got the same thing from Earlham. Apparently, you aren’t accepted or rejected. They are saying that they can offer you that much. If you say you can afford the rest, they will give you admission. If you say you need more, you will again go into further consideration and might even get rejected because of your high need or if they like you very very much, they might even give it to you. At least that’s how it is as Earlham and I am sure it’s about the same at DePauw too.
@Komz1304 Thanks for the information. I will be responding to DePauw soon!
@TrishaAgarwal Hope the best for you.
DePauw has a well-known reputation for parties. Not sure if you consider that a good or a bad thing.
@Komz1304 Thank you. I hope you hear soon and are happy with the decision.
Also, I have heard that DePauw is a very work hard play hard kind of school.
Hello everyone! I’m also an international student. Since I love the way DePauw treats each undergraduate with great kindness and its Honors and Fellows Programs, I have submitted some research papers that may be of interest to the Admission Committee, and some days ago, Mr. Jirari replied to me. He said that I should expect to hear back from DePauw in the coming week or two, then he introduced a lot about value of a DePauw Education and its biochemistry degreee (my intended major). In what ways should I understand his letter? Thank you so much and hope to see your acceptance as well as your generous FA!!
@MangroveForests I’d say don’t read too much into the email. I mean it was not sent to me or anyone else I know of and looks like an excellent thing. But, from personal experience, going into things without expectation yields happier results.
So stay calm and wait to hear from DePauw. I am pretty sure it’s going to be positive though!
Im an international student from pakistan and i still haven’t received my decision. anyone else with me too?
@Braveheart53 Send Me. Jirari an email asking him when and how you can expect it.
@Braveheart53 Same here. International student still waiting to hear back.
yes i asked him and he said my decision will come out in a few weeks. So i think i have to wait a bit longer.
what about you @Komz1304
@Braveheart53 A few weeks? Did you apply rolling?
@Braveheart53 He said it would come next week.
@TrishaAgarwal I applied RD and submitted my app on December 29th. But on my portal i completed all the stuff on February 23rd so maybe that’s why its taking a bit long?
@Komz1304 really? i asked both admissions and Mr. Jirari and they both said “in a few weeks.” that really sounds an awful lot if thats true. did they tell you that specifically yours will come next week or everyone’s?
@Braveheart53 Maybe
@Braveheart53 I don’t know if he specifically meant mine or everyone’s. All he said was “It should come within a week.” That’s it.
@TrishaAgarwal did they increase your aid? i also know someone who got the same aid as you.
@Braveheart53 I haven’t heard back.
