General Comments:
Anyone know when decisions will be forecoming, and how students will be notified?
I think they’re coming out sometime next week? Last year, decisions were released on the 23rd so I’m guessing we’ll hear by Friday.
I received an email recently saying “admission decision will be available through your online Application Portal at 5:00 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, March 22, 2017.”
Todays the day! Can’t wait until 5 pm…time goes so slowly when waiting.
I got accepted as a Margaret Bundy Scott Scholar! So excited!!!
Waitlisted, but congrats to all of you who got in!!

Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: likely because of my less than average SAT and GPA
