Yes!! Although I'm not as big of a Cooch fan as I once was. I'm all about Vlasic and Nieto lately.

Are you a Sharks fan/hockey fan/in the Bay?

It's been radio silence on UCLA's end, but I got into Boalt. I did not expect my cycle to go like this at all

UCLA sat on some URMs for a long time (~3 months for one dude on LSN) before admitting, they seem to be slower than Cal.

Your cycle is going great (as we all knew it would)!

Re: UVA class sizes decreasing, they are public and I think that has something to do with it. If they are required to pick ~40% of their class from in state but expect to keep their medians the same, it's not implausible that they're having a much harder time filling that in-state space with 169+ scorers.

But it could also be a variety of things. Smaller class sizes are more appealing to students. Nobody is really saying, "I'm going to X school because I want to have 350 students in my 1L class." So perhaps this is a strategic move on part of UVA to make themselves more competitive amid T14s with smaller class sizes. Just a thought.

Solicited or via CRS? And what time if you don't mind me asking? I've been waiting for one
I'm pretty sure UVA give out waivers to most people that ask. Have you tried?

e: just saw you got one through CRS :)

Huge congratulations to all the offers ITT. This thread is really making me smile
