I was also deferred Early Action…hopefully this time around is better
anyone see this--------------- Your application for admission is complete! Please check back for important updates.
What does it mean ? Thanks.
It will be nice if they said when
@MITcollege It just means that WashU has all parts of your application for review and your portfolio isn’t missing anything
My D does not have that on her portal. Is that where you are seeing that message @MITcollege ?
@Winky1 DS has it too. It’s on top of the portal in red.
No, my D still has the Status Update with the update from December 14th. Then under that it says that all of the Academic Scholarship and Fellowship Programs have been decided, and under that it says how the University Scholars in Medicine has been decided. She’s got no red area at the top of the page above the old Status Update, and nothing says “Your application is complete! Please check back for important updates.”
Am I looking in the right place, @patiencepls ? I can’t see where else there would be to look. Thanks.
@Winky1 You are looking at the right place. It sounds like her portal hasn’t been updated yet. Hopefully, it will be there soon
Ok, thank you for letting me know @PatiencePls . When did this update happen? I hope decisions are tomorrow so we know either way.
Anyone else not have the update?
@Winky1 I am not sure when the update happened as I haven’t been checking until this morning. Thought the decision will come out next week. I wouldn’t worry too much about this. It’s just a message that’s not saying much. It will be so much better if it said … Please Check Back on [a specific date a specific time]… 
I have the same update in red too.
Message displayed for ED deferred students may be different, @Winky1 did your D apply as ED?
Yes @bsmdint , my D did apply ED and was deferred. Maybe that is why her portal message is different. ???
@Winky1 That must be it.
We noticed that red message in last 2 days, but didn’t realize that it is different from past updates other than color. So seems another chapter is coming to close.
On side note, my DC is not finalist for scholarship nor scholar program, so not sure what to make out of that message,
Ok, so my D’s portal still doesn’t have the red notice. Any one else deferred from ED just have the same portal page? Or does someone who was deferred from ED have the new red message? Thanks. Hoping for decisions today.
So are decisions coming out today or next week?
Could logically and objectively be any day from today to next Friday, March 16th, in my opinion. I have no proof other than previous release dates.
If I had to guess, I would suggest that someone in the office is busy inputting all the admission decisions, admit or deny or waitlist, and when that has happened, the portals get the red message. If I am right, it means they’re almost done reviewing the apps.
I don’t think decisions are coming today anymore. Last year’s thread says they got an email in the morning of the day decisions were being released informing them to check their portals later in the day. 
I guess we wait till next week.
