X_X Oh my gosh, you’re right! I can’t even stand to think about it for too long without feeling like I’m going to explode. Are they always released at the same time of day (5 or 6 in the evening)? Or can that vary too?
Last year (Class of 2019) was the first year they used the on-line portal. Since then, they have released on Fridays at around 5 pm PST (12/12/14 for 2019 ED1; 2/6/15 for 2019 ED2; 3/20/15 for 2019 RD; 12/11/15 for 2020 ED1).
Releasing on Fridays after the close of business gives recipients the weekend to process the results before the Admissions Office is besieged with phone calls and emails.
@Corinthian thank you so much! That’s really interesting and also very smart on their part. Hopefully it’s tomorrow night and not in a week. I just want to know… good or bad, I want to get this over with! (But hopefully good… [-O< )
Has anyone heard back?
I have yet to hear back yet, does anyone know if it’s expected to be today?
I haven’t gotten an email or any change to the portal. Maybe today’s not the day. :-/
It seemed like today was the day! I guess another week of waiting…
Thank you to @Corinthian for finding and posting this in another thread: http://tsl.news/news/5520/
