<p>Gonna have to agree with Defrasne here. All the "pendings" make this thread ridiculous. Is it that hard to just wait to post until all your decisions have come? </p>

<p>The point of this thread is to have a comprehensive and final tally of applicants' results, not to post every time you hear from each school.</p>

<p>Caillebotte, I created this thread early May hoping that those who have already received their decisions (especially those who are unlikely to come back to this site after all the waiting frenzy is over) would share with us their stats. I do not find this thread ridiculous, although I do agree with you that it would be to the benefit of many should people wait for all of their decisions before posting, instead of putting pending decisions.</p>

<p>I didn't mean the thread in general is ridiculous; in fact, I think it's a good idea. It just doesn't make sense to post on here with decisions pending.</p>
