Has anyone heard yet?
What time are they usually released?
I don’t know for sure but based on first year admissions, I would expect them to be released 3 pm or after. I am assuming they do this to avoid a flood of people contacting them right away.
anybody hear anything?
They mentioned on X they can’t give an exact time.
