i guess they got a satisfactory amount of deposits paid
Yep, I believe that is it.
17:40
FYI: STCL is still "working" on the waitlist and will have an INFORMATION SESSION on May 9th at 12pm noon to be conducted by the Dean of Admissions. Hope this helps to clarify some of the concerns out there. Good Luck!
