Yes!
Congratulations! That’s a great news to start off the day
I'm curious, did you folks get your official letter in the portal already as well? And was scholarship information included in the call and/or letter?
Thank you! Sending you positivity from here
I’m not sure about the scholarship since I didn’t apply for one, but Jack mentioned that the official letter would be sent 2-3 days after today’s call.
Got the call from Lance - Creative Producing. Feeling a bit overwhelmed haha
