    I got possibly the most confusing acceptance letter ever. It was postmarked on Oct 20th. Its says something like "We are pleased to inform you that we have notified the University's Office of Undergraduate Admissions of our recommendation to offer ...

    I actually just gave up my spot b/c I couldn't get enough financial aid. I got a tiny grant ($600) and needed $34,000 in private loans. I couldn't get approved for loans because I had some bad things on my credit report, even though I had a decent ...

    Hey guys, I found an answer to my question and I just wanted to update you. We do NOT have to have the background check completed until November 1. If you're in the same boat I am and don't have any $$ to spare, you can put it off until then. I per...

    In the letter it says we have to complete steps 1 and 3 by Oct 1. Step 2 was the background check. We probably have a little longer to complete that although it does not say when exactly. Does anyone else know?

    I started off in Shelburne and then moved to Richmond/Jonesville, which is about 30 minutes from Burlington. I would love to move back some day, but not for the winters!!

    Oh....I don't know why the 16th is stuck in my head. Don't mind me, I'm moving right now and have all my dates confused. Sorry guys.

    Well, the last group was there on Friday so they couldn't possibly meet and review everyone until Monday or Tuesday. Unless, they just stayed there all weekend Also, interesting fact.... my interviewer told me that they often don't know who actual...

    They said that the committee is meeting the week of the 16th. I'm hoping that means we will hear sometime Monday- Friday. Oh dear. I wonder if we all find out at the same time...
