<p>I’ll let you know when the decisions come in.
just a warning for next year, they’re slow as **** and lie to you.
When I applied they said I would hear back within 6-10 weeks of my acceptance, I was accepted on Dec 16th. Then they sent an email in January saying that I’ll hear within 16 weeks of my acceptance. but here’s the page with their stats in case you havent seen it:

<p>“they’re slow as **** and lie to you.”
OMG you are sooooo right</p>

<p>SATs - mine were 2250
GPA - when I applied it was 4.71 weighted, 4.0 unweighted
extracurriculars - I worked 15-20 hours a week for 14 months, commissioner on student government, in a few joke clubs, and did other random, meaningless stuff. i think they just want to see initiative or leadership or whatever
essays - mine, i think, were pretty creative because other than this, i’m pretty ordinary. i think they want a diverse group of people.
other - idk, admissions are screwy.</p>

<p>btw, I applied, found out i got in, then got my Ross decision 9 days later. It’s different for everyone</p>

<p>You have to be the very best, like no one ever was. You have to travel across the land, searching far and wide.</p>

<p>You had to start a non-profit organization when you were eight. Also, you should have built a school in Tibet, near that village that you should have had previously built.</p>

<p>Seriously, you have to be the best if you want to get admitted early. Otherwise, they will just defer you until you give up on all your aspirations and lose every bit of belief in the admissions process.</p>
