Considering NRF AC are from the 10-19 Feb, should i assume if i haven't heard back yet its a PFO?

I took one for the team on Tuesday and they said they are still reviewing video interviews so they will be in touch soon!!

I’ve gotten 11 post app PFO’s this cycle and was beginning to loose hope. This is my first progression this cycle.

I will appreciate any insights anyone has.

I applied for both spring/summer. I didn’t indicate any particular preference.

Hi! About a week ago I emailed Bakers grad rec team to see if I could "transfer" my Summer VS app to DTC because I can no longer make the dates. I haven't received a reply so far... when should I follow up and do you think they may agree to this?
