<p>I’m at the 2010 NY Deca State Conference and the opening ceremony just ended. While we were eating I noticed my BB vibrating and ‘CONGRATULATIONS’ appeared as a subject from an email from American - I just got in :).</p>
<p>I guess now that the decisions are being sent out, everyone can post their results on here! Btw, a girl at my table also got the email so I’m assuming results are beginning to be sent out.</p>
