Could be good news since they don’t go out of order usually @nunyabusiness

hoping for an A today
14:35
is anyone going straight from under review ---> decision, without getting the "by May" update?
14:36
mine hasn't changed since going UR so I'm assuming I won't hear anything today
I was "by May" for about 20 minutes today and now I'm "decision finalized"
Suspense is killing me
14:52
