@GG1997 No merit for my daughter, but accepted to her only choice–Maxwell.
i didn’t get an email last night but logged into my portal and saw an admission acceptance form, does that mean anything?
Accepted to Whitman. But no merit.
@nededen That form link has always been there. Clicking on it won’t hurt. If they have not entered your decision it will just say “not authorized for this page” It will become live if you get accepted. We were clicking on it for weeks.
yeah it says that i’m not authorized to view the page yet
@emptypockets my page is letting me view it and its live! It is giving me the option to accept my enrollment… however I never received an email with an acceptance letter. But I did get my financial aid award email. Is this happening to anyone else???
For those of you who got accepted, when you log on to myslice , what does it say in your admissions to do items section?
That’s awesome! What were your stats? @vbayor234 @wishfish
So confused as to why some got emails about decisions. Seems as though it says on the portal that you find out via email, not the portal. Shouldn’t all decisions whether accepted/rejected be released at the same time?
Can someone help–I was accepted to Newhouse by email, and checked the very confusing portal and nothings there…
how did people see their merit awards? I completed my basic financial aid, but they asked me for extra documents afterwards…does merit aid only come with full completion of all this extra aid stuff?
@kisakyamaliya There is no change to the text in that box. It still says: “All of your required application items have been received. Your application is complete and ready for review. As a reminder, your admission decision will not be provided through MySlice. Admission notification will be sent to you via email.”
The only change we see in the portal is to the Admission Acceptance Form link. Now when I click on it, the text has changed to “Welcome xxxx to your Admission Acceptance Form.” There’s text with instructions and caveats about getting the boot for bad behavior, etc. Then at the bottom there are three options–accept, decline, defer, which I presume will take us to the relevant page. We haven’t finalized it yet.
Others have updates to their financial aid page with the 2019 link now being active. Ours isn’t yet, although we didn’t fill out the CSS and she didn’t receive any merit aid, so all we would eventually see is aid coming from the FAFSA.
@az103 - when in MySlice click on the ‘My Financial Aid’ on the top right - if your financial aid is finalized it should show you a number of tabs included a full cost breakdown - this will include any scholarships and financial aid awards. If your financial aid has not been finalized then this won’t be there yet and you need to follow up with the documents or requests from the financial aid office
email at 6:50pm 3/16 - just directs to look at website, letter on website says:
Admitted to Architecture (5yr B.Arch) and “Full Tuition Architecture Scholarship” for 50k. Did not mention honors.
So I guess our decision is pretty much made… unless the visit goes very badly

Has anyone heard from the school of education yet? I was wondering/hoping it was by school and education hasn’t heard back yet. I applied mid December and have not gotten a decision yet.
I applied to school of education, but haven’t heard anything. Have you?
I haven’t seen a single mention of the iSchool. Anyone apply? Anyone? Bueller?
We got accepted to Whitman, but no merit. Is it possible that the Merit will come at a later date? Any hope for $$?
My d applied to Education as well, but has not heard. Would you mind sharing your stats?
thank you! so does merit aid come once this is done?
