for those who were accepted, when did you hear about your merit scholarship? If my initial acceptance email didn't include scholarship, does that mean I was accepted sticker?
@Iamthelawstudent: I think merit aid is still coming! source: I haven't gotten any yet and I sure hope I do.
also their online FAQ mentioned that all aid will come out by March 31st
i am also really desperate to hear about aid
Is it safe to assume if we have not heard back about aid then we were offered none and have to complete the scholarship reconsideraton that opens on March 20? Or can initial scholly offers be made past this date?

I spoke with fin aid a few weeks back and 60% of the aid was already gone. if you don't get an initial offer, you will have to use the reconsideration form

If you applied for a named scholarship, that delays your general merit aid consideration
I was told by the financial aid office that you will receive an email even if the initial offer is $0

When yall hear back from reconsideration can you include the date you sent it and the date you heard back to give others an idea of the timeline (especially if you are NOT doing the ~5 days request).
