It seems like, though honestly this is just supposition, that the closer we got to 11/1 and the general EA application deadline, the more those direct admit petitions have been lumped into a pool with the majority of petition requests and admissions apps of qualified direct admit candidates. So while there was bandwidth to review and make decisions on petitions earlier in October, that bandwidth has significantly shrunk and the field of candidates has significantly grown…thereby causing this long wait for results.
