If you used the test optional button in the portal after submitting to change your answer, will it still disappear?
I am hoping Admissions doesnāt keep track of how many times our family refreshes DSās portal

Good luck! Hope we get some news soon!
One of my friends is an EA applicant who applied test-optional but now wants to send his score (1-day rush), if he sends his score now would he be considered a regular decision applicant?

So what is the deal with the TO buttonā¦is disappears at some point? (My girl has kept all this stuff to herself and I have no idea what the portal looks likeā¦or anything else. Mom and I (mostly I) ask āHave you checked your portals?ā and she says maybe later. I would be checking 2 or 3x a day! HAHAHA
The ābuttonā appears on left side of portal. Itās what you would select to switch between test optional and submitting test scores. The theory is that this disappears the night before you get a decision. Seems between 5-7pm button disappears and then after midnight a decision is posted on portal.

Thanks! I will let her know. Seems like the kids who applied way earlier than the end date are hearing. She waited till the 30th for her EA apps.
My daughter is very high stats (3.95 UW/4.6W) -20+ AP Classes and very active in the school/sports - applied mid-October EA and still waiting for a decision! So not sure there is any rhyme or reason. She refreshes her portal daily.

Getting excited, the ātest optional buttonā disappeared for my sonā¦crossing our fingers and hoping heāll finally get a decision tomorrow!
