if we didn't get the DLS this morning then we're out of luck this week arent we

I read posts from previous months where people got calls around mid-day and were told they'd be emailed later in the day
MushyOldOriole
12:08
I'm not sure if they are doing calls at this point with what seems like most applicants on hold
MushyOldOriole
12:09
considering that they are giving so few A's these recent weeks as they continue to move slowly I would imagine they are releasing decisions all at once in the morning I guess
MushyOldOriole
12:10
I'm just curious how any A's they have left to give out, getting so nervous from this
MushyOldOriole
12:13
anyone open their email, then close the app and open it back up immediately as a reflex :@

Btw, I visited HLS and spoke with a 3L there, 1L is insanely busy there. HLS is basically cheat codes for a career but still it's a crazy crazy hazing of a 1L

Spivey said that this cycle would be slow until the end, when a lot of decisions would be let out. I imagine NYU will still be releasing A's until at least mid-April, with bigger waves coming relatively later
