Mid march is practically tattooed in the back of my brain at this point…

Same though :sob: Every day feels like a million years… I just wanna know at this point, even if I’m not in.

Exactly… I think that they are waiting on final approval to release acceptances. I’m slowly losing my mind smh.

I emailed YES, and they told me that acceptances will release this month!

Oh thank God. I was looking at past threads and there has been one year where acceptances didn’t come out until April (cuz of Covid; I think the year was 2020 or 2021). I’m really really hoping they come out today but I’ve been wrong like 50000 times this month so…

(I mean, there’s only seven business days left in March, so I have a one-in-seven chance of being right this time… and then when I inevitably get it wrong and they don’t come out today, a one-in-six chance…)

this is so relatable :') i keep thinking about how they must have made their decision on me already. could they please just let me know??? just ONE email that’s all I’m asking for. do acceptances only come out on business days? i feel like I’ve spent more time worrying about my acceptance than time I’ll spend abroad at this point :sob:

Now its 1/5 chance!

They probably do have their decision, they are just waiting on approval from the department of state.

Yep and guess what… my new prediction is that they’re coming out today! Lol

Yeah from what I know acceptances only come out on business days, from 9-5 pm EST.

We have 1.5 hours to see! I can only hope. I really would like results to release before Wednesday… watch them come out on Friday at 4:59 :joy:

For real though that’s what I’m afraid of XD I almost wish they would just tell us exactly what date they’ll release acceptances so we don’t have to play this torturous guessing game lolllll

Well, anyway, time to go back to refreshing my email every few minutes for the next hour…

I JUST HEARD THAT ARABIC ACCEPTANCES ARE OUT. are other languages out?

For AY or summer?

Summer and it’s out for Tajiki allegedly

yes. but i also see it is on a rolling basis so it may not come out all at once.

yay! hopefully other languages aren’t too far behind : )

I got my results for Tajiki summer a few hours ago.

is this the first language to come out? i feel like Chinese usually comes out in early march, so that’s suprising. tajiki came out on 03/15 last year so it seems like everything is a little delayed. hoping really really hard that korean summer comes out this week, or at least by the end of march :sob:

Yes, Arabic acceptances have 100% started rolling out. I received my result this afternoon.
