<p>Eastern according to last year’s threads.</p>
<p>The numbers aren’t realistic. It’s just my estimate… and I would rather wait. As long as I’m waiting there is hope and hope is good :)</p>
<p>I guess it’s Monday… :/</p>
<p>sigh sigh sigh sigh</p>
<p>perhaps Monday 4pm chicago time has passed…</p>
<p>I’ve been deferred from Cornell early decision, so I’ve pretty much given all hope of being admitted to Chicago… However, here’s my two cents on the decision timeline:</p>
<p>1) According to many sources, the deadline for notification is the 15th. That would suggest that notification occurs on or before the 15th</p>
<p>2) The 15th is a weekday</p>
<p>3) The consensus is that notification occurs at 4pm EST (based on past years)</p>
<p>4) On the 15th, the office closes at 4pm EST</p>
<p>5) Based on my experience with Cornell, as well as reading other people’s stories, the admissions staff does not want to be working right after decisions are released. They would be flooded with calls from angry parents and devastated kids. They want to allow a few hours for emotions to cool. </p>
<p>**Summation: ** Given that office closing correlates to the consensus information of when decisions are typically released, the most probable time would be the 15th at 4pm EST.</p>
<p>Jack, that’s what I was saying before motion shot me down.</p>
<p>Well then I subscribe to your theories. ;)</p>
<p>Haha I also was guessing the 15th, Katie :)</p>

<p>i attempted to do physics homework yesterday and there was some question about angular rotation with the front and back wheel of a bike</p>
