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.

**22nd

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.

Only 10 minutes left!

Are they up?

Strengths: Essays, Extracurriculars
