SO EXCITED!!

Does anyone know when the undecided wave is coming out? No one I know has heard and Im freaking out that they are going to defer everyone

thank you! decisions are posted once a day at midnight.

@PSUcutie , they don’t seem to have a pattern. If you mean DUS (which is sort of Undecided), some decisions were released earlier this month but it should be ongoing. My son has several friends anxiously waiting. Good luck!
