hey there zenflyer, smiling goat and rdj05!
i also applied for ao class 2008A, the latest update i got is a tentative start date of october 2008 (as per mr. tirol). if it takes about 3 months from selection/testing to start of classes, then we should expect to be contacted starting now to about august. it's a good idea for us to form a group of some sort so we can gather more info.
am looking forward to meeting all of you, good luck to us all!
