Some emails will not arrive until later--they are sent out in waves. Do not despair!!! And acceptances arrive later as well as earlier!!

Waitlisted, I will post stats later, or you can see my stats profile. I have some huge ECs and awards that aren't on there though that I thought would pull me through (as they did with Caltech and MIT). I also got a "likely" call from Pton, so I guess I was presumptuous.
