<p>Let's try to eliminate all discussion posts within this thread and keep all posts strictly decisions. Just copy/paste the following list and take out all the spaces between the brackets and enter your stats. </p>
<p>The reason I only want decisions posted within this thread is for the future classes who want to see who was accepted/rejected, and it starts to look cluttered if every other post is "Omg, when will I hear?" So if you have a personal question, make a separate thread and you will get an answer!</p>
