<p>Expect your Scholars notification letter by April 10, 2007. Your notification letter will be in the form of a welcome letter from the program that we are offering you. Important: If you do not receive any of your preferred programs, and you chose not to be offered an alternate program in Section 2 or Section 3, then your notification letter will indicate that we cannot offer you a program because of the limited availability of your preferred program(s) and your desire not to be offered a different program. The Scholars notification letters represent final decisions. If you are not offered a program that is your top choice, then you will be placed on a waitlist for your top choice program and any other program that you had listed as a higher choice. We will likely not make any decisions regarding these waitlists until after May 10, 2007, when we are more certain of the projected enrollments for each program. Being on a program waitlist in no way guarantees that you will get into that program.</p>
