But at the same time telling others that just applying and waiting for an in person interview because that person specially was ok with waiting and or delaying isn’t right either. Get the offer asap and then choose what class date you want or what works best for you as an individual. Some might be better waiting others might want to start asap. Fastest way to a cjo and class date would most likely be mtc unless they skipped a month
