They made my decision back in January because I had submitted in early December. When I logged in back then it said that my decision was made and I could view it. When I clicked the view completed decision button it said I would have to wait until April 1st to unlock it. So I have a feeling that they really did not look at my accomplishments during my senior year. Or maybe I'm just speculating. Hah.
