that (100% in state/ 100% out of state) line they added in the email felt really nice to read
did they send an email with scholarship info? I just got my acceptance email this morning and it said that they will be sending any scholarship information in the acceptance letter they are mailing out.
Im OOS for undergrad and at least for undergrad they throw money at OOS, like full ride if you get above a 28 on the act basically
To accepted applicants : How long did it take from your A to receive your acceptance letter and scholarship info in the mail? My status checker says it was sent on the 16th but have not received it yet
