<p>It's about time to start the Class of 2019 Admission Decision Thread!! History tells us that some acceptances will start rolling in any day now (early November), even though <em>most</em> won't hear until Dec/January (So don't panic!). Good luck everyone! I hope we start seeing this thread fill up in the next few weeks!</p>

<p>Congratulations to all the acceptances coming in! Very exciting! I wish I understood how PSU did their decisions because on their website and twitter page they say they don’t start the “rolling” part of rolling admissions until after Nov. 30th. That’s obviously not the full story though! Regardless, so happy to see notifications beginning to roll in! At the longest, everyone who’s already applied should hear within the next 3 months! Good luck to everyone! </p>
