Does anyone know if you apply for the accelerated, do you only get into the accelerated? I applied for that one but they're taking so long with a decision that I can't possibly move there in May

Is an admitted students discord link still available?
Man, this would be my #1 choice if it wasn't so damn expensive. Idk how anyone can afford it without the full ride.
14:07
loans and hope I can pay it back
COA is just wild here compared to other schools. It's nearly $300,000 over 3 years. The price is live in paradise, I guess. Good luck this Fall!
Just got accepted!
A off the WL
