For folks who got accepted, how long did it take to get your packet in the mail with scholarship info? I got a call saying I was accepted last Monday, but haven't gotten anything in the mail yet. I do live in Hawaii though, so it may take a little longer than usual.
took about a week for me

@Thewrightlawyer: they don't reconsider, or at least that's what they told me when I went through the whole process. They'll set you up with their financial counselor instead.

They would not reconsider for me either. Still felt like I got a pretty good offer though.
