applicant0000, mOv, anonymous_208430243, crestview, egc15, WhatIsSpin (i gave up looking trhough this thread), all said that their slate updated on 3/30 at around 3:30 am. so far, mOv has gotten in. please anyone else in that list let us know for future generations!!

i never had my own account - only through school counselors. As of this morning, it had said status: decided and decisions were sent to counselors in december. Not sure if this was any indication of my acceptance or just a universal thing?

I think everybody’s slate eventually turned into (decided and decisions were sent to counselors in december), but what was differnt was the time that it got uploaded into slate. the people who i have seen be rejected/waitlisted had their before 3/30, but idk. I just wanna see if there is any correlation or if this portal astro is fake. but thank you!!!

why do you have to wait 12 more hours tho?

my parents :sob:

i do not wanna be crying in front of them id rather get it out now and be chill when i open it

Did everyone’s rejection letter have this sentence? “In fact, my colleagues in Admissions were struck by your accomplishments and the work it took to achieve them, and by your perseverance during some very challenging years . . .” Wondering what the “challenging years” are.

Waitlisted. Anyone know how many waitlist spots are offered? His letter said they anticipate maybe 50-60 (I think) eventual offers of admission. 2,000, 4,000 
 ?

I don’t have the letter in front of me but I don’t recall that line - and I think I would had it been included.

Yes it was there. I’m guessing they’re referring to the Covid years.
