Sending that email at 10:21 eastern was FOUL
but yeah I'm glad they let me know at least! Finally can get excited for orientation without being stresssed :)
If anyone survived the purge do tell! I'm curious if they do let anyone in. Looks like with a class size of 190 I'm guessing they weren't going to take many, if any at all

no idea, but I think 190 comes from the number an admitted student said was in the admitted students chat

A part of me is questioning why they would reject ppl one by one instead of releasing everyone from the WL if they’re truly full but maybe I’m just being delusional
