Has anyone’s portal changed recently?

In what way?

Not for me.

Never mind. It went back to how it looked before. Yesterday there was a link to “New Portal” or something like that which just brought me to how it looked like before and now again.

What type of email? My son did not get anything. Did anyone else? He did get the FAFSA email a few days ago, though.

It was just an email honoring Dr. King

Oh, wait. Yes, he got the MLK email. My best guess is that anyone who has applied at any time for any reason (unless the few that have already been rejected) will be getting periodic, unrelated emails. If the email subject says, “Your decision is ready”, that’s the time for the heart palpitations.

Would love to hear your son’s stats for ChemE admission and how he is finding it? My DS 25 will apply this year.

They did this last year for MLK day and we all freaked out about it LOL

Now we are all down to the same amount of time it takes to wait for SAT or ACT scores. We got this, peeps. Hook ‘en!!! (what my kid used to say when he was 2… our lifelong lil’ joke!)

And remember…everyone will land in a great place, and if they don’t the first time, they will STILL find their place in life/school/job at some point. It is a journey… all is well and will be as it will be. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

There are thoughts it could be on the 26th, since it’s a Friday, and lots of “waves” and releases happen on Fridays. I’m guessing so they don’t have to deal with the bajillions of angry, happy, confused, chaotic, “what do I do now”, “I think you made a mistake”, “I need to file an appeal” phone calls that would immediately inundate them. So, they get a two day break before the onslaught. Just guessing. So…maybe Friday the 26th? Then again, maybe any single or multiple days between now and Feb 1 for those who applied Priority. I think I am checking MyStatus only once a day, which I see as a good thing for me : ) #ItWillAllBeOverSoon #I’mSureCheckingTomorrow
