<p>@bluegirl14‌ Congrats on your acceptance :slight_smile: I also applied but do not know my results yet. May I ask if any of your “category views a, c, d, e” are missing on the online portal? Some people have said that some of their categories are missing, and I’m wondering if this is linked to acceptance status. Thanks and congrats again!</p>
