<p>If you don’t mind me asking, what faculty(ies) did you apply to? Did you get a letter in the mail that said you had to wait until the summer to know your final decision? Lastly, did you get your acceptance through Minerva, your e-mail, or both? Thanks for giving me hope!</p>
<p>I got my acceptance first from my email and my status changed on Minerva. So both</p>
