Well, the application process is still going on and the and acceptance letters are still rolling out.
1:16:00
Mhmm.
1:16:01
Initially, our initial feedback has been very positive just because it was, like, they see me I can apply.
1:16:07
They felt very affirmed.
1:16:08
And so anecdotally, we have really strong evidence that this was something that was very positive.
1:16:13
Our schools and our school counselors and the folks that are supporting students with application completion.
1:16:19
While it was intense, because it was all happening in the month of October.
1:16:23
They had a wrap around kind of support to make it happen.
1:16:28
And they definitely saw a difference in the kind of motivation of a student to complete the process, and we saw that in our numbers.
1:16:36
Right?
1:16:36
We saw that in the, like, significant boost of applications submitted.
1:16:42
We are still gonna collect data.
1:16:43
We have to wait until the the end of this process, the end of the the application acceptance process and as students make decisions.
1:16:51
And then when we are surveying through our senior survey, we'll get that data.
1:16:55
And so we'll be able to more formalized, but right now it's anecdotal, and it's been positive in the places where folks have said, okay, would be better next time.
1:17:04
We're taking all that into consideration.
