<p>General comments:</p>
<p>To the student checking their admission status 93 times a day (this was my daughter), the admission statuses are updated daily between 6-7PM (probably because that is when the admissions closes and they need time to update the system). Make sure you are logged out of your status page from about 5pm until you check again at 6ish… My daughter checked her page every half hour on the half hour yesterday and at 6PM she didn’t have a status posted of the decision, but when she logged off and stepped away from the computer for an hour and came back to check at 7PM, it said Congratulations! (We believe they needed an opportunity to refresh her page and she was inhibiting them from doing so)</p>
<p>Also, you will receive a message saying something along the lines of “We are in the final stages of review and a decision will be posted in the upcoming days…” that means you have 1-3 days until your decision will be posted (for some of her friends they heard back the same day, for my daughter she heard back the day after).</p>
