I had asked a question there and got a long and very considered private answer. I don’t know how many “deans” there are but the one I lucked into is fabulous and has continued to keep in touch re several admissions related matters. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend. If no luck, send me a private message and I’ll see if I can steer you this wonderful resource.</p>
