<p>I’m on board with fireshark.</p>
<p>Technical issues are really hard to predict and avoid. Especially when they involve masses of teenagers.</p>
<p>That said, I was refreshing and got my decision around 2:20 Mountain time (20 minutes after they were released), but I didn’t get an email until later. Yes, I got the error message about 4-5 times, but I did get my decision in a timely manner.</p>
<p>If I were an admissions officer, I’d be way more worried about who gets what decisions rather than when and how they get them. That said, if I were deferred or rejected, I too would be looking to put some blame on Chicago or try to lower it in some way to make myself feel better. It’s understandable. I just wish we could be calm about this and just be thankful we got decisions online, when we could all be waiting for a letter in the mail right now.</p>
