Congrats to everyone who got in!! And it seems like the time stamp didn’t really mean anything, so I’m sorry for worrying everyone with that statistical analysis!</p>
<p>Wow you’d think that someone who was accepted would know the difference between principal and principle. This process is idiotic. And how did Stupefy get waitlisted? This doesn’t make any sense…</p>
not that I’m going to go anyways! but congratulations to everyone who got in!!</p>
