@qwuido34 are you in state or oos? How about your friend?
We are both in state at the same high school
@qwuido34 Then I have no idea honestly. Sometimes I think there is no real rhyme or reason behind it, just where your application fell in the pile. It does seem in-state went out last night but as to why your friend isn’t in it, I couldn’t say. Maybe they’ll hear tonight.

Because decisions are random. I keep saying it but people don’t believe me lol.
Tell your friend not to worry. Decisions are completely random. It doesn’t matter when you applied. If your friend applied EA, they will hear by Dec 24
