Decision letter has yet to arrive... What does this mean?

I applied to a school and expect to hear back by January 15. Just emailed my admissions counselor ensuring that all of my materials made the EA deadline so I can still expect to hear back by this date, but I’m positive they did… So I guess I’m just looking for reassurance from her. What are your thoughts / experiences with this? Does a late decision mean you’re likely to be deferred, wait listed, or rejected?

Without knowing the school, all that anyone can say is… it is not January 15 yet.

Closing thread. It is against the terms of service to ask the same question more than once. Direct any additional answers here. http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/baylor-university/2119285-should-i-be-worried-if-i-have-not-heard-a-decision-yet.html#latest
