Not sure, their website says decisions until the 20th, so I am unsure what that means for us

SpiffyHurriedGoat

14:39

If anyone has any insight from previous years please share!

SharpHandyMonkey

14:40

They seem to be releasing ED decisions differently this year. Previously there was just one wave in mid December, but clearly this year had a pre-Thanksgiving wave

legallyginger42

14:43

Yeah it’s definitely been different from previous years. No news is better than an R but :/

SpiffyHurriedGoat

14:45

Would our portal say decision finalized before we get our decision, or not necessarily?

legallyginger42

14:47

I’m not sure but I know it said decision finalized for people right before the first wave

SpiffyHurriedGoat

14:49

Okay got it because I keep checking mine and its still under review lol

legallyginger42

14:54

I’m u/Gold-Medium9569 on Reddit if anyone wants to talk about apps and stuff lol

SpiffyHurriedGoat

15:46

my portal just changed to decision finalized, anyone else?

legallyginger42

15:47

I got rolled over to RD

SpiffyHurriedGoat

15:48

Did they email you? Or was it on your status checker?

SpiffyHurriedGoat

15:48

But regardless thats better than a R!

legallyginger42

15:49

It was on my status checker! it said "no decision"

SpiffyHurriedGoat

15:50
