banksy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 SSPB site says LOR are accepted until today, so they will probably be meeting next week... it would be pretty awesome to be the first class of a brand new program.... only 8 spots available though. i'm hoping they did not receive a lot of applications --ranting and raving because there has been no time to eat food yet today. almost done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitH Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I've only got 4 schools left to hear back from. I'm assuming that at this point Columbia and JHU CMM are rejections since I havent heard from them by now, and I might be hearing from Weill and UCSD this week? Does that sound right?
