Bluekey login?

I was accepted to DePaul yesterday and want to start checking off some of the next steps for enrollment but lots of them require a Bluekey login which I don't believe I have. Will they just email me my login eventually or am I missing something?

Regular Decision

So I just got denied to UIC for EA but my plan b is DePaul which is my second top university/college that I am interested in. I wasn’t able to apply EA since I was busy that I wasn’t able to submit one on time.

But my question Is DePaul a good school when going into the university of science and health majoring in nursing or undecided? (Still deciding between the two)

And how quickly did you get your decision when applying to regular decisions?

Also does this university offer any grants?

Dorms/Housing for incoming freshman

I got accepted to DePaul for film and television, and I was wondering if anyone had any word on which dorm building I should be hoping for? On my tour of the school, the guide said certain buildings had suite-style bathrooms which would definitely be preferable to me, and despite the fact that most of my classes will be in the Loop (as I am pursuing a BFA) I wanted to stay in Lincoln Park for the social aspect of it. Any recommendations/just which is better would be super appreciated!!

What's the max scholarship an international can possibly get?

Basically, I applied to Depaul as an international student and received the global depaul scholarship of $31,000 and was also accepted into their honors program. I was just wondering what's the max a person can possibly get and whether or not I can request for additional aid as it is still kind of unaffordable for me.

Super Catholic?

I just got accepted to DePaul with a good scholarship- its not my top choice, but my top choices are pretty pricey, so if i don't get good enough scholarships I might end up at DePaul. I have some religious trauma from being raised Catholic as a queer person, but more importantly I'm just generally uncomfortable in environments where I can tell I'm being looked down on for being atheist. I understand it's a Catholic school, but is the environment super Catholic? Does it just feel like a normal liberal arts school with a Catholic affiliation?

Music opportunities

Hello, I’ve recently been accepted to DePaul and I’m 90% sure I’m going to attend. I think (hopefully) I can double major with music, and I was wondering about the music opportunities at DePaul like travel opportunities, certain events etc? What are give opportunities in the orchestra?

Roommate

I live in the dorms and originally had a random roommate who decided to move out and transfer schools. I’ve now been assigned a new roommate, but I haven’t been able to find them on social media. I’ve already emailed them twice, but they haven’t responded yet. I’d really like to get to know the person I’ll be living with, but I’m not sure what to do next.

When are scholarships sent out?

I logged into the DePaul application status checker yesterday and saw that there was an update to my application, clicked on it to see that I had gotten accepted. It was just a portal pop up, not a PDF of an official letter, and there was no information about scholarships. I have a 4.14 GPA, above average SAT score (in general and for average sat score of admitted DePaul students), four years of varsity sport, clubs, extracurriculars, etc. Basically, I kinda expected that I would get at least a small scholarship. I haven't gotten an email about my acceptance or scholarships, and I haven't gotten it in the mail yet, it is still only on the portal. is scholarships information only in the email of mail version? or does it come out in a few weeks? or did I just not get a scholarship. Just very curious because im really interested in DePaul but can definitely not afford it without a scholarship, so im getting a little nervous that I didn't get any money. My major I applied for is Film & TV if that affects anything. any help appreciated.

Honors Program + CDM

I'm a sophomore majoring in Computer Science and I'm also in the honors program. I've already completed the language requirement for the honors program. Is it worth continuing? It feels like a lot of work, and if the non-honors gen-eds are easier, I’d rather switch. Plus, you can't take honors classes asynchronously, and I feel so stressed every time registration comes around trying to fit my honors classes with my CDM classes. I'm also wondering if my honors credits would fulfill my non-honors gen-eds if I switched. Let me know what you think—I appreciate it! (literally desperate for advice)

ION

Thinking of moving to an ION apartment for next year - any reviews/warnings/comments that may be of help since I noticed there are many bad reviews about it. If ION is too bad, does anyone know any good off-campus housing that is near the CTA and affordable

Nursing Program

A question for current nursing students. I applied to Depaul for nursing and I was wondering if I have a shot. I have around a 4.1 gpa, good extracurricular but nothing crazy, a good essay, and I got 4s on my ap exams. I did opt to go test optional. If anyone knows how that compares just let me know, I was really interested in going here! update: I GOT IN

Fafsa

Hey everyone, I’m currently a junior at DePaul and i submitted an appeal earlier this summer. The amount they gave me once approved was a literal joke. Does anyone know how to go about when asking for more money? Who should I email and or see in person? Someone told me telling them you rather transfer out works because they don’t want to lose out on those loans but idk if that’s true lol

How rigorous is the honors program?

Hi im a current senior who has been accepted into Depaul and even selected to apply to the honors program.

I was wondering how rigorous it is and if it will take away from my experience socially at Depaul. Also wondering how it will be set up different than if I just stuck with regular courses.

I’ve always wanted to explore a new city and have a fun first year acclimating to my new environment but I’m worried i won’t be able to balance everything coming from a less rigorous charter high school.

Any Advice?

I’m just so nervous.
