source? I haven’t seen anything which is driving me crazy
D25 received email about a week ago. It said “ Within the next few weeks, we will be releasing decisions for Fall 2025”.
No other updates with a date. I was hoping end of month.

Daughter got in. We have not dug in deep on this school, since Rochester was a bit of a reach and she is pretty happy with two of her targets. There are not a lot of posts on this site by people familiar with the school. I would welcome for insights.
