Hello! I believe it's per year! The email I received from admissions confirmed that for me. Congrats on your A!! :D
Thank you! I got that email too- I just jumped the gun too early and asked before I got it. Congrats to you too!! :)

So... I am assuming I was accepted? Maybe jumped the gun a bit updating on LSD haha.

@EllaJP: You are correct I believe. That's what my status checker says too and I know I was accepted. 'I'd check your spam folder.

@Willow16: how did you decide to accept so soon? I'd be the first lawyer in the family so I feel like I'm going in blind
