<p>Actually, I was told by the asst. dir. of CALS adm. that my app. wouldn't have a final decision until the last minute. I was deferred from ED and in CALS all deferred are decided last because they really try to admit if they have room, which I think is really great. It really means if you were deferred you aren't definitley rejected. And mine said submitted 03/24/2008 at 01:05:00 P.M. EST.</p>

<p>hi, higherground, it would be much appreciated if you can tell us your "submitted time", since you are of those few people receiving a likely.</p>
<p>You can see what I mean from the very first post of this thread.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>lollz this is so neurotic. you guys crack me up :-p</p>
<p>The wrong date they gave for submitted cannot be the day the made the decision. Seriously, they cannot make 20,000 plus decisions in one day. I think you guys are seriously reading into this too much. It's only five more days!</p>

<p>we realize that, and it's been stated before in this thread. I think jackwang is more interested in the possibility of the apps being organized in a specific way before the decisions were uploaded (e.g. all the acceptances being added first).</p>
<p>I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they made all the accounts in some random order (by last name, college, region or application number) and then actually transferred the decisions to the AY server on Friday at 5. That may be why they say "at OR shortly after 5:00 pm". They'd be in the process of transferring decisions electronically. If they were already there, just not accessible to us, then it would only take an instant for Cornell to enable them on Friday.
But I would love to see some correlation here. Good luck!</p>

<p>This looks very random. Likelys were not necessarily the first in the time.</p>

Hotel- no likely</p>
<p>Looking at the times (Range about 12:00 to 2:30) by school, the placement of the likely letter people (1:05, 1:54, 1:28), and the fact that some school mixing occurred I believe that there is no (discernible) pattern. Therefore I have 2 options for the distribution of time a) a chaotic system (either unintentional or intentionally designed to thwart a statistical attack on decisions like what is happening here) or b) the schools are all deciding at random at once. </p>
<p>All I feel safe concluding is that the pattern (which I do believe exists) is hard to detect and waiting until the 31st at 5pm will be the easiest way to determine your decision online.</p>
