There were people who got Rs and people who didn't even apply that got it, so I wouldn't read too much into it

Does anyone know if they accept letters of intent? This is my top school and I would go there if admitted off the waitlist- I’ve just seen conflicting things on whether they accept them or not.

does attending an info session (such as the one next tuesday) mean anything to them? or is it a bad look to do it after you've applied

did anyone else on WL get the financial aid night email? Do they send us all the info even if we are on the WL? Should I be filling out FAFSA for them?

Did not talk to them directly but it seems that they send out more invites around mid Feb. The latest one last year was March 2nd. They started in August for both of these cycles so I'd assume that they're not 100% done yet.

You should definitely fill out FAFSA for all schools you might be accepted to. I believe by March 1. Otherwise, you won't be eligible for financial aid should you get in. You can submit for up to 20 schools on the same form, so I just put in the schools I interviewed at and then all the ones I hoped to get an interview at (which is so not happening, but wishful thinking).

Congrats on the interview! In-person classes start August 10 with orientation the week before but the Summer Start program runs 6/15-7/31 with orientation beginning the week of 6/8. Summer Start is 1 credit online, apparently meant to ease us in without too much effort on our parts. Summer Start is a requirement, which is nice, because it means you can be grandfathered into Pell grants if you apply for them before they cease to exist on 7/1. They'll tell you more about it on your interview day.

I have been trying to join the GroupMe for admitted students and it has been weeks and they never accepted me😢. How long does it usually take to get approved? I even tried to join SDN, and again, I have not been approved so I can post. What am I doing wrong?

huh, idk what’s taking so long. the owner probably hasn’t checked the chat in a while—but if it makes you feel better, no one’s sent a message in the GroupMe so you’re not missing anything!
