    Dude im in my early 30s and the pressure is real. Although I often feel like I put that on myself. I've come to learn that we get to where we need to eventually. All that we can do is put in the hard work needed and trust and believe ourselves.

    I only had the AC yesterday so havent received anything as yet. Grad Rec said they would let us know outcomes by beginning of March though. So maybe they will wait till all of the ACs happen before sending them out?

    Was this for spring or summer? I applied back in October for the Summer VS but havent heard anything - have also checked the portal and no communication there either. Seen a few people getting VI's and AC's so unsure what to think!

    is anyone yet to hear back from Covington, either AC or PFO? Seen that a few have got AC’s last week and today others have heard back too, but I’m still waiting. Should I assume PFO?
