Tell us what's important to you
that school is beautiful
what's your number 1? hahaha omg ty me too but that is a super reach school for me so im happy with even a WL from them
are you straight outta undergrad?
nope I've been working the past couple years which is probably what saved my cycle from a bunch of Rs
USD/Oregon
Both really great places to live! USD is in a great location too, close to the beach and central to everything
youve been to the campus I assume?
I've driven by a couple times and walked around once or twice, I went to UCSD for undergrad which was nearby
Is it nice?
also at this point i am going to assume a WL from USD them taking forever can not be a good sign.
it is! can't speak for the interior but walking around it was definitely nice
hope you hear back soon! I never got an email btw I just checked my status checker
no shit
good to know
thank you so much for chattin!
no problem, good luck!! I see some As coming in so you're not out yet

I got mine around 2pm on march 19th
I got mine 4:23pm PT but I was able to see the decision on the status checker like an hour before the email came in
I’m so confused with usd. And kind of put off that it’s taking them this long.
