<p>I don't think you need any kind of connection to get the VIP application. I got them from like 10~ schools. UVM is probably the only one I did though. As much as would love to apply to all of them for free, it still costs money to send SAT scores :/</p>
<p>And I still haven't received my decision. It's been complete for a few weeks now. I did send my transcripts in a week or two late, but the application was in so idk. It says if I don't have a decision tomorrow to contact them, so we'll see.</p>
