How can I ask admissions a specific question? I try to fill out the âcontact usâ form, but when I say I am a current applicant, it tells me to go to the applicant portal. The applicant portal takes me back to the âcontact usâ page, though. Really, I just want to talk to someone about a covid-related challenge and how that could affect my admissions decision.
