    NAPS Offers

    It appears in our portal application status and we are notified by email as well. From what I have read, a turn down also extends to NAPS and Foundation; otherwise an offer would be in its place.

    How do connections help with admissions?

    Hello all, I have chosen to pass up on their offer to write me an LOR. Based on your insights, I felt that I've gotten too ahead of myself and should've gone with my gut. Your inputs are greatly appreciated.
