I'm in for this Spring. I was previously accepted but had to defer due to pregnancy. I'm praying for y'all. I remember the waiting game, it was very stressful.
Would you mind sharing how many points you got in with? We're all so nervous!!!!
Yup, I received mine on Fri., Dec. 16, 2016 after 3pm. They like to send them out on Fridays so they don't have to deal with the deluge of questions that come afterward, lol!
I'm not sure how many points I had. I think it was around 80 or 85; I was an alternate that year. I know my score was high enough to usually be a shoe in, but that application pool was abnormally high. I think lots of people had high 80's, & even some 90's.
That was also with the old points system, so you'd have to ask someone who got in for Fall 2017 about the points. Check out the posts for that semester, because they were under the new system. I know my score would have dropped, so I'm thinking it may be lower now, but that's just a guess.

i got in fall but the points changed again... so there really is no way to gauge it. good luck though

If you don't mind me asking. How many points did you have? Do you have any suggestions as to how we can prepare for the first semester. Like what should we brush up on or study.
