@dirtysprite2 I don’t know of anyone else that’s heard besides the batch that went out in late December. I doubt that they’re done sending out letters. I know so many people from my school who applied and have not heard back yet. I think with the holidays coming in December, they didn’t get to all of the applications. I would expect more will go out next week with the interview weekend coming up so soon.
thanks!
do you know when the interview weekend is? @Chopinspiano
