Agree.
I am surprised they haven’t done another release. Waiting so long and now combining with RD (which is Feb 1) seems like there is going to be an overload on them to go thru all the petitions. Why do that to themselves? Unless they are planning on not accepting all requests (even when meeting the criteria) and want to compare all applicants now?
Maybe the amount of applicants well exceeded the number they want to direct admit??
Frustrating. As my one who got in already signed up for direct admit day and would like to sign the other up too but need the direct admit first. We are OOS so it requires some organizing to travel there. Honestly, it is starting to turn off my other one’s interest in the school (which I don’t want).
