Hi All,

Those who got an email, how quickly did you respond thanking the admissions team? I am thinking I will hold back till I receive all the decisions.

Any thoughts?

I got an email from McCombs saying that they reviewed my application and a decision had been released, but when I checked the status page, it just said in review. Anyone else have this? Is there a miracle possible for an interview?

I'm Canadian and up to this point did not receive any emails.

Thanks!
