<p>It was suggested that it might be useful to upcoming families to have 2 threads - a Final Decision SHORT LIST thread, with a running list of everyone's final decisions, plus a Final Decisions BACKGROUND thread, with more details about people's decision process (format thanks to Emmybet, 2011). </p>

<p>It's still early, but there may be some ED and rolling admissions folks who have already made final decisions.</p>
<p>It's up to you how you post, but it's very helpful to the kids coming up if you state whichever of the following are relevant to you:</p>
<p>Applied to:
Accepted to:
Rejected from:
Waitlisted at:
Final Decision:</p>
<p>Then you can add a few sentences about how you (or your kid) reached a decision. I know we followed these kinds of threads very closely when my D was making her list, and now the Class of '11 can make the same kind of contribution for the years ahead.</p>
<p>Whenever someone is ready, start us off. There doesn't have to be any cumulative list for the posts, just your own status.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
