Ellewood9101
12:39
?
Palutena
13:30
Idk it looks like I was accepted on 2/3 but still no email
Palutena
13:30
When did everyone get theirs?
lazos11
15:59
does Wayne email login info for application status checker?
Mimosas-law
7:52
Yes it can just take a couple days
TushySplitter
16:03
checked my tracker and I got in yesterday. so I guess i'll get an email in a few weeks??
Mimosas-law
18:10
I would wait and if they don’t email you by the end of next week shoot them an email. I saw most people saying they got the email the day after they got in
Mimosas-law
21:18
How long do scholy offers take?
lazos11
12:29
How do you activate the status checker?? I haven't been able to figure it out

@Mimosas-law: They emailed me notifying me I was accepted today and it said I had a full tuition scholarship in the first paragraph. However, the email did not have my complete admissions packet.
TushySplitter
14:26
at the bottom on the email, it said that the scholarship offer would be sent in the next few weeks, so who knows when that will be.
Mimosas-law
15:40
Okay same. I hate that we have to wait a few weeks

does wayne go off of cumulative or undergraduate degree gpa?
ImperfectLikeSparrow
23:48
like, what if you have 2 separate bachelor's degrees? and the most recent bachelors is 3.7+, but the bachelor's from 10 years ago was 3.2 so your cumulative is low like 3.4
PrivateSlimMouse
16:31
pretty sure the rankings use the first bachelor's degree gpa.
PrivateSlimMouse
16:32
so the schools care about that gpa the most, but of course having a higher gpa for another degreee is good
Palutena
13:46
Has anyone gotten their admissions packet in the mail yet?
lazos11
10:29
so I found out I got in yesterday. When do they typically send official emails?
lazos11
10:32
and any sort of packets in the mail?
Palutena
8:09
They should send the email within a week, I was accepted 2/1 and still nothing in the mail :(
DisgustedFurtiveFlamingo
14:03

Palutena
8:15
Anyone gotten their admissions packet yet?? It’s almost the end of the month
LovingRattyPepper
12:45
Anyone know earliest possible waitlist response
PrivateSlimMouse
1:02
Idk but at deposit deadlines things should be rolling
WaitlistedToEverywhere
17:21

PrivateSlimMouse
18:31
