Tell us what's important to you
perhaps it won't be a wave but more of a trickle. it seems they're reviewing apps soon after they get them.
14:23
That would make sense, either way I'm not expecting a decision for a bit because my stats aren't anything crazy but I hope someone out there gets in today!
looks like we have similar stats, don't discount yourself!
14:32
Thank you! We're in this together!
15:27
this supposed wave has consumed so much of my mental energy today
15:36
same
congrats truthful taco!!! u slay
16:46
@UptightAloofBonobo: thanks!!
16:53
Congrats to the As!
congrats everyone!
not sure if anyone knows the answer, but do they do weekly admissions?
does anyone know if applications are reviewed at random? I submitted 9/1 and was marked complete but still haven't been moved to review?
I think they are random bc I applied recently and am already under review
same—applied like 2 weeks ago, got moved to UR earlier this week.
they usually sort application review by "strength"
really? how do you know that
Spivey talked about it in a podcast. @uptightaloofbonobo

does anyone know when a new wave is coming out?
Prxttylawprincess
12:01
Do they not have a schedule?
ohh I see thanks @nextlumpyspaceprincess
their TL said WL and R's begin tomorrow
Do we think it is going to include As or just WL and R
no clue but their website also says ED decisions begin Monday 12/04. I feel like maybe a few A's tomorrow but then more will come in on Monday with the ED apps
oh sorry I meant that ED goes out on 12/4
