<p>@Hayleyh, I hope not! I’m still waiting for my decision as well and my status hasn’t changed since Dec 9th when it became “file complete, decision pending”. But I agree with Mere24, I heard back from USD very late as well and I was deferred, while I heard back the first day U Miami sent out their letters and I was rejected. I think it depends on the school, but it doesn’t seem like most schools send out their acceptance letters, deferrals, and rejections in batches based on the decision so for now I’m still hopeful.</p>
