Beats me ... I was planning on withdrawing, but they pre-empted me. I got my acceptance dated 11/20, signed by Dominick Purpura. People might be thinking I'm bull****ting, but I have no reason to prove myself or lie on a forum.
Einstein was a bit of a safety for me, though, and I think perhaps they also realized that. Maybe they sent the acceptance early to see whether or not I would accept. If I don't accept, which is the case, then they can open up my spot to someone else come Jan 15. That's what I figure.
