Do you have to go UR2 before getting a decision?
Idk :/
do we think there r still A waves left
I absolutely think so
not that this is valuable, but putting out just some positivity, just think even yesterday they gave out A's with good scholarships, meaning they are giving incentive hoping those people will accept. there's more A's coming
there was a wave yest??? that makes me feel way better
