   Fingers crossed that we all make it in!! Obviously, I think that it's a great program with amazing people running it. They made it a point to say that we are competing with ourselves and they try to look at the individual. They even gave stories o...

   I don't see a change in my status from "submitted". However, I did contact admissions some time ago, and they assured me that my application was waiting for a decision. So, I wouldn't read too deeply into any changes on the website. But, as droux ...
