I'm starting fast track at Boyce, too. The only changes I've heard about are from the letter they emailed: the grading scale and admission requirements.

Does anyone know how the Summer semester works for the fast track program at Boyce? I know we're going to have classes in the Summer, but I'm curious about whether that means we follow the college schedule for Summer I and Summer II, or both, or neit...
