<p>@burdman I got the coming days status last Thursday. I woke up this morning and it reflected an acceptance online. I’m still waiting on my mail to come today but from what I’ve seen on here both are usually received the same day. Regardless, all of the information you would need is online. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>General Comments: The more I read these threads the more nervous I was thinking her grades weren’t good enough or her test scores weren’t high enough. I believe everything is taken into consideration. Throughout high school my d took mostly CP Classes and only took one AP Class Junior and Senior Year. She is a very solid student and remained consistent through her high school years always pulling high B’s and A’s. She has been a competitive dancer since the age of 8 and cheerleader since the age of 10. Has held a job for the past 4 years and has taken several leadership roles with teaching religious ed classes and choreographing group dances for several years to name of few. Her personal statement was strong in that it stressed her consistency throughout her years with grades while juggling all other things in her life and sticking with them for years.</p>
