<p>The same thing happened A FEW DAYS before EA decisions were released. From what I remembered, they took the app status site off-line on a Thursday or Friday morning and left a note that they were “maintaining/updating this section of the site.” Then a few hours later they put the site back on-line with no decisions. Then the next Monday at 4 PM EST/3 PM CST, they released EA decisions. (15 Dec) </p>
<p>Again, that’s based on what I remembered from EA, so if that’s the same trend, we may very well have a few more days of waiting left. </p>
<p>I think that they may have done this to temporarily increase server capacity so that they could avoid having their servers being overloaded by nerve-wrecked high school seniors when they release decisions. I think Cornell had this problem last year, because the system just completely crashed on RD Day.</p>
