@QueensSpec thanks for clarifying that!! Makes sense that they are grouping like that. I met someone from the program who also said they place a lot of emphasis on admitting a diverse group of students.
The "rolling admissions" threw me off as well... Have no idea what that means.
Would this mean that if I applied closer to the January 31st deadline I am less likely to receive acceptance?
I'm a bit worried now... I guessing being waitlisted mean theres still a chance rather than not hearing back at all?
