A lot of discussion was generated by the various emails sent out - meet your counselor, portal info, etc. I’m not sure why these emails seemed to be randomly sent out, but for future reference for applicants -
At least in the case of my son - he never got an email of any kind. Not even the “decisions come out on March 22” one. No counselor email. And he was accepted. So there is one vote for letters don’t mean anything. Except of course the invite to the Chancellor’s Reception. That clearly means acceptance. (S didn’t receive one of those either)
