Hi everyone! Has anyone received an admit from Cox? I haven’t received an invite from Cox yet, but I have been invited to interview with other schools like Simon and Notre Dame. I followed up with the admissions committee, and they said to wait and that they’d let me know. Should I keep my hopes up
