<p>i guess i should have said that I think that everyone whose status says "your application is being reviewed by the admissions...." now should have the link - I can't imagine that just having the link means you have been accepted - we are on the east coast so would not get any letter until later in the week but...</p>
<p>Haha funny story about the name is I got it as an AIM handle way back in the day, I remember I couldn't think of anything and I always saw a bunch of people who had it on T-shirts and I thought it sounded cool... I actually thought that's how you spelled Tsar or something. I used it for so many things for so long that I was always too lazy to think of something else. I just recently found out it was a laser tag place when I was playing a game online... makes sense why it was on t-shirts. </p>
<p>I wouldn't worry too much about the little link, it doesn't do anything or point to anything significant. I think it's just a website thing, I can't imagine a system updating 36,000 applications without there being some kind of inconsistencies.</p>
<p>anybody from ny get accepted or status change?</p>
<p>josie17, we have the (at least as far as we know) latest and greatest status "your application is being reviewed by the admissions...." as of 1/21. No updates. No new links.</p>
<p>That's crazy that there are Q-Zar's in Florida, still. It shut down in NJ about 10 years ago and I didn't think more existed. Crazy stuff you learn on the internet.</p>
<p>I'm trying really hard to not be excited about my "being reviewed" status, but it's not too easy. I don't wanna tell my parents cuz then I'll have to deal with their unnecessary sappyness if I end up not making it in the next week, so I'm just trolling CC instead.</p>
<p>My status still says my application's under preliminary review, but I don't think that's a reason to get nervous or anything. If it remains that way for another week then maybe, but eventually all of our applications will be reviewed and given a fair shot.</p>
<p>well i got the updated status on the 21st but no new link.... maybe that means i won't be getting an interview....</p>
<p>I got my letter!</p>
<p>I'm a School of Cinematic Arts applicant in Florida. I got the status change on the 1/21 and the little link on 1/24 (again don't freak out I don't know if it means anything). </p>
<p>Good luck to everyone and don't freak out... remember it comes in waves!</p>
<p>Has anyone from NJ heard?</p>
<p>qzar: how did you get it in Florida already? Congrats!</p>
<p>i got my letter in PA</p>
<p>Congrats to qzar and swoopes2- be sure to post your stats ASAP!

(I see qzar already did!)</p>
<p>Don't worry if you didn't get a letter yet. The scholarship accpentances are sent in waves and you still could be up for a big one (until you get the "No Scholarship letter" some time in February.) Even then, as others have noted, there are lots of other scholarships.</p>
<p>Ah! Congrats qzar!</p>
<p>You are living my dream right now.</p>
<p>Got letter here in NJ!! Marshall!</p>
<p>Grats guys...I guess I'm waiting it out more :/</p>
<p>bmwguy</p>
<p>did all of you guys who got your letter get the Oasis link???</p>
<p>qzar's post made me depressed, we have some eerily similar stats (Hispanic, 2080 SAT, 100+ hrs of service, Florida) and my app is still in the completed prelim as of 12/12, and I submitted it a week before his... :(</p>
<p>Amy: I believe the only ones who have received letters also received the Oasis link.</p>
<p>Can anyone think of what that might mean for those of us who received the 21st update, but not the 24th link? Maybe its the difference between Presidential and Trustee? It could make sense from a printing point of view.</p>
<p>I'm a bit helpless, and really want a decision lol.</p>
<p>disasterpiece02- Don't fret just yet, they send out even the trustee early acceptances in a couple waves. If everyone remembers from last year, people were recieving the acceptance/scholarship (for both trustee and presidential) letters well into the first week of february. I'm also in FL and have similar stats (also applying to SCA) and I bet we just have to wait until they send out their next wave! We don't even know for sure what any of the status updates mean yet. If everyone in the acceptances thread could make sure to post their history of status updates then we could all rest much easier! </p>
<p>P.S.- I'm sure I'll tell you this in person Qzar when I see you tomorrow but... Congratulations man! Bring it to school tomorrow so we can all drool over it!</p>
<p>Edit- oh yeah, and I'm still in preliminary review with no update since 11/26... keeping the faith</p>
<p>I did have the Oasis link. Congrats everyone!</p>
