Oh i meant like check-in amongst us. they'd probably strangle all of us if we started regularly calling them lol. I do agree though, some kind of update to the likelihood of getting off would be nice
lol i feel like i should just call at this point like im about to move to another city and sign a lease for an apartment lol

if it helps, i called on Monday and so did someone else. The information they're allowed to give isn't really helpful because it's what we already know (they've gone to WL once and are evaluating current class to determine if they'll go to WL again).
ahh ok that helps a little thank you!!!
anyone hear any updates?
