I didn’t. If anyone else heard anything, please let us know!
just got in yesterday and I am not seeing instructions on how to negotiate scholarship or any form. Does anyone know where to find it?

@HawaiianPizza: they will send you a packet in the mail with information on how to access the admitted students page and apply for reconsideration
18:03
@HawaiianPizza: my understanding was that schol reconsideration closed in March/April, but there might be a second opportunity for students who are admitted later that that in the cycle :)
Has anyone heard anything from the school (for all the waitlist people)
@HawaiianPizza: Email the Admissions Office and the Director of Admissions directly

@Turk: I live in Russian hill, which is a mile from the school and a far better area than the civic center/tenderloin. It’s a 2 bedroom with a lot of big common spaces and my roommate and I each pay $1625

Hey so has anyone else received an email that your financial aid package is ready - but have not gotten a decision letter? I’ve already tried to call the university and haven’t been able to get ahold of anyone.
