谢谢各位的建议帮助，这周初收到了Kelley的电邮的录取通知。不过到现在还没有收到正式的文件（人在美国）。大概大家都是多长时间收到正式通知？奖学金的信息是一起邮寄的吗？

谢谢。

Googled the "Hoosiers" as follows:

Like barnacles, a thick crust of speculation has gathered
over the word "Hoosier" to explain the origin of Indiana's
nickname.  opular theories, diligently and often sincerely
advanced, form a rich, often amusing body of folklore.  Those
theories include:  "Who's here?" as a question to unknown
visitors or to the inhabitants of a country cabin;  Hussar, from
the fiery European mounted troops;  "Huzzah!" proclaimed after
victory in a fight; Husher, a brawny man, capable of stilling
opponents; Hoosa, an Indian word for corn; Hoose, an English term
for a disease of cattle which gives the animals a wild sort of
look; and the evergreen "Who's ear?" asked while toeing a torn-off
ear lying on the bar room floor the morning after a brawl.





     

     The best evidence, however, suggests that "Hoosier" was a term of
contempt and opprobrium common in the upland South and used to denote a
rustic, a bumpkin, a countryman, a roughneck, a hick or an awkward,
uncouth or unskilled fellow.  Although the word's derogatory meaning has
faded, it can still be heard in its original sense, albeit less frequently
than its cousins "Cracker" and "Redneck."
