did your status tracker update at all?
12:37
It just changed this morning. I’ve weened myself off the status checker habit, so it likely updated around the same time as the A.

Because I remember refreshing my checker in math class yesterday and being sad when no date change

I think their first deposit deadline is April 13. Exactly one month out. It would be nice to be able to discuss scholarship info and maybe have time to visit in person before making a decision. Starting to cut it real close
I actually heard back today, about 5 weeks later, and was able to get a bit more money
