that there is a lot of information in this email and it might be overwhelming
at first. However, there is time to finalize your course selections until the
end of the “Change of Program Period” in September. Note also that at this
point several of the classes might have long waitlists, but in most cases,
these waitlists clear up and students typically get into the majority of the
classes they want in September.</span></p>
