found out that they essentially lost my application and i applied all the way bak in November. i had to call back multiple times for it to be reviewed and they offered me a WL. i sent back a rejection letter to their wl offer lol
17:04
That’s surprising you got WL with your stats, I thought for sure you’d get in being above median.
@Iamanole: I kind of felt like thats what they did to me. Didnt hear a word, they wouldnt return calls, wouldnt return emails. I finally emailed the dean of admissions directly and asked if they lost my app and sent a loci the next day then got the WL the following day.

4 days from sent to rejected. That's gotta be a record... I feel like they didn't even read my application with that speed.... My app never even updated status to under review i was rejected so quick..... Kinda depressing with no other decisions made yet and as I wait on 4 other schools to make decisions....

Thanks. Got accepted over a week ago and haven’t heard anything on $$$ so pretty confused
I would say that if you haven't heard anything about scholarships yet, you might not get any. I could very well be wrong, I just think it highly unlikely consider their turnaround time
