No. This one will be in Spartanburg, SC. They have not completed the facility yet. It is expected to be ready the summer before we matriculate.

riskyyy. you could get in there by then anyway.

I applied to VCOM normal decision but just submitted my application really early (in May/June). I got an interview the second day after they stopped doing early decision interviews and heard back two days later.

So, if you feel like it is too risky to apply, just apply super early and you can maybe get an interview during that early time and hear back just as soon.

Good luck!
