<p>OK, so some of us know we are going to be receiving our RD decisions, tomorrow (3/21), at 8am EST, so its time for the RD decision thread.
Please act like 18 yr olds and REMOVE the space in the brackets before you post.
Here it is: (only copy and paste the actual template, choose one decision, and delete the rest)</p>
<p>a typo, probably. I’m I the only one who rushed to the OPUS site in anticiaption of my decision, only to read “Your decision is not availabe at this time…”</p>
<p>a typo like that really shows the carelessness of emory… Come on, did they even double check to see if the 20th was today or tomorrow???embarrassing to say the least…</p>
