yup Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 1 hour ago, Distancea said: That is something that baffles me. Because there are ppl with better than our stats that got pushed into regionals today. What happens if someone drops from Hamilton? Do we get the dibs or to the regionals from today get dibs? If someone drops from Hamilton, the new Hamilton spot goes to someone on the waitlist. Those who were offered regional campus spots will not be offered a Hamilton position.

I mean I completely get it - when things are uncertain people jump on any information they can get. It just won't work in this case, at least not so directly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisronaldo Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 When checking facebook groups, always keep in mind that there are people from upper classes to offer help. There are also people who have multiple offers and are just checking out each group for a while. So definitely take the number of people you see on those groups with a grain of salt.
