Email = rejection???

@Oddenigma I am also an international, got accepted with President’s Scholarship!

What is this fed ex email thing? Everyone accepted gets one?

@imansoor14 did you get the email?
Too scared to view/download.

@Oddenigma yes, I got an email saying i got accepted and it also asked me to check my account.

Any parents have experience appealing merit scholarships?

There is no update on scholarship or financial aid for me.
