I didn’t see a thread like this so I figured I’d start one! If you’ve been accepted and are considering attending IC, introduce yourself here It could also be helpful to post your stats so other people can see what they’re up against.
I just found out that I’ve been accepted to their Exploratory program! I’m so excited, because IC is one of my top schools. I got the notification online but haven’t received a letter yet so I don’t know about scholarships as of now. I hope the letter comes tomorrow!
