@Faultystart Our S was on the chat, but on his phone since he was not at home during the chat. As I understand the chat was quite hectic/difficult to follow on the phone… and there was a mention of the 17th, however if you look at the post by @silver67 it sounds like it was not an admissions staff that threw that date out. I’m sure everyone would be perfectly fine if they release without advance warning today. I know our S would be. He is beyond anxious with his top picks still pending.
I believe it was one of the students from the admissions office (there were several) that answered with the March 17 date. I could be wrong. They were color coded and in my memory it was the chat host color.
So basically, it was someone from Brandeis who said March 17–but not necessarily an admissions officer. It could have been a tour guide or someone they pulled in from the student population. It was a very fast moving chat and although the question was asked a few times that was the only answer I spied come across. I was able to watch it on a big screen but it did not have my personal attention 100%. My D does not post here.
You can go back and look at the entire March 9th chat transcript by clicking the access link they sent initially. As I understand it the Brandeis people, students and staff, were highlighted in blue @redpoodles and the person that said 17th was not…
Anyhow, we’ll know soon enough!
@silver67 Really???!! If that is the case I apologize to everyone from the bottom of my heart. I was the one who said they said March 17 was the date. I thought it was blue. It went by so fast. I’m sorry!!!
Oh my
Yes, if you meant the person that posted at 07:23:08 pm @redpoodles …didn’t read every single post on there. And no worries at all! We’re all trying to read the tea leaves here… 
i wish decisions would come out today

Waiting for JHU, Case Western, and possibly Northwestern tomorrow.

@stressedout2017 Did your guidance department happen to know when Bates College is releasing their decisions?
