I hope this helps as families wait for decisions! I can add the TO button disappeared around 8pm and 6pm respectively for both girls. The decisions dropped at midnight. We have been very anxious given the time lapse between decisions. I feel this validates decisions are random and applications are read as they drop into a workflow. WE ARE!!!

Congratulations! And thank you for all the helpful info.

After checking the portal 1637389 times in the past few weeks, the TO button disappeared shortly after 6 pm today. I now see a transfer credit option which wasn’t there before (or at least I never noticed it?). :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:
