I got into Wagner!!

I know! Its just cruel at this point.

I just called them, they said they are still entering all the status updates into the system, so it could take as long as early next week

I heard from them on the 27th, last week, for MA in SID

Did you get an email, or did you just check and see if your status had changed? Mine still says in review

Mine still says 'in review'

I also just heard from Duke with $$!!! Could not be happier!!!!
