This happening for anyone else?

Nah, mine still says the same thing it did before

never mind, it just got fixed for me

@hycrey Mine has the same thing as yours. I can’t find the words early decision in that paragraph. Does that mean we got differed?

Is it possible for them to release on Sunday?

@tmyqzzz
I hope not!
I’m not sure, I read in past years a few people received their decisions over the weekend but most people got theirs Monday.

i didn’t check cgs because i didn’t want to have to enroll in cgs if i was rejected from com, but someone else said a few years ago that ed is not binding if you don’t get admitted to your first choice. is that true?

@plshelpme11 yes, that’s correct. That’s the big benefit of clicking the cgs box bc the binding goes away if you get into cgs and not com

my friend applied ED to CAS, same as me. his stats were a bit lower than mine but he said his applicant link says the same as mine, that being that we applied to CAS for the september 2017 semester with no acknowledgement of being early decision candidates. I hope we hear soon because I am stressin’

ugh why did i not click com then i’m so stupid

would it be too late to call them and ask them to change it

@plshelpme11 i’m confused… are you asking if you can change the college that you are appying to?

sorry i wrote that half asleep. i meant why did i not click cgs as a backup

Is anyone else holding out for the Presidential Scholarship?

@plshelpme11 I didn’t check for CGS either but I called them tuesday and they helped me change it, idk maybe if you call them early tomorrow they can fix it for you

@forensicdog2 some ED applicants are also awarded the Presidential Scholarship

they’ve probably already made the decisions i realized. oh well, hopefully i’ll get into com

@hycrey Will it be too late if I call and tell them that I would like to be considered for CGS if differed? What do you think?

@tmyqzzz it wouldn’t be too late because they’ll still be considering you for rd
