fallinnstyle 146 Posts Jul 19, 2010 I was just about to post a question about this program. I applied for the july start date,,but I got an email saying they had a huge applicant pile so,,they had not got to review all of them in time.. I guess if anyone has any info about how long they are taking,,,they can share.I am hoping to hear something before the august start,,but right now that seems like a stretch.
