Judging by previous cycles, it could be anywhere from mid-November to mid-December. For folks who applied Sep/Oct I'd bet we hear back sometime in the next 2 weeks.

Applied in september with high stats for the school and still no decision. They've been quicker the previous years so I'm confused.

Idk if my decision date was in any way affected by this, but I applied Nov 30 and hadn't received anything, so i reached out with an email just asking about my status and if they needed any additional info from me. They responded that my app was w/ the committee and no decision was made yet, and then I got a decision about 8 days later (this was all in the past two weeks)

Emailed them asking for an update on my status and got waitlisted 2 days later. Can’t believe it considering my stats were amazing for the school.
