Good luck to all! The waiting can make you crazy but you will end up at a great college regardless- Things happen for reasons you won’t understand but it all works out for the best in the end!
My friend was waitlisted at the same time I was accepted so I’m guessing they are sending them in regionally.
(I’m in the surrounding Los Angeles area/Ventura county)
