Any other decisions?

My S got a email today saying the waitlist is closed and the class of 2025 is at capacity. Did others receive this email?

We aren’t 2025

Who else is 2023?

This is the transfer thread. The waitlist is closed for incoming freshman. There may still be some movement for transfer applicants on the transfer waitlist.

Hey I’m in the 2022 fall cycle I was just wondering did u ever get in?
