I can’t believe I’m doing a Chance Me post, but after D’s rejections in ED1 and ED2 I think we’re all a little on edge with anxiety. I wish she has done ED at Smith but she never had a chance to visit and just wasn’t comfortable doing that (never even been to the Northeast). Now it’s her her top choice!
Does anyone know if they will be doing early ‘likely letters’ this year?
