General Comments: I'm extremely excited to have gotten accepted and I am happy to say that I will be attending the multi-cultural program. So, if there's anyone else going, why don't we try to get to know each other so that we're not completely clueless?</p>

<p>RunLMC5, the acceptance rate isn't 6%, the 1,350 is the size of the freshman class, not how many were admitted...the number admitted has to be at least 3 times that...good try though</p>

<p>Is there a link - or is it direct email or snail mail?</p>
