Even though they have said all this, I have serious doubts with all that has just been announced that those dates are going to happen. What's the consensus around here? I have my app out at a few 91/91k companies and 135s in my area and considering taking something if offered... If I did that though, I'd have to leave the program and not have a CJO or "preferential class date" anymore
