I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out tomorrow. Looking back it doesn’t look like they announced it before the day of? But Sunday works too lol
The AO confirmed it is on Sunday, 1/15 around 5pm.

Does anyone think that there will be updates or changes to the portal today? I have read that in previous years the portal options (not sure of the right word) look a little different the day before admissions are posted for accepted students. I’m still surprised that they are going to release decisions on Sunday of MLK weekend.

Although I’m also a bit surprised about the Sunday release, I don’t think they’ll do it early. Lots of people have confirmed directly with admissions that 1/15 is the release. I think they would say “by Jan 15” rather than saying “on Jan 15 at 5PM” if they were considering early release. The portal looks the same as always today – but maybe it will change in advance like you’re wondering.
Perhaps, although I can think of instances where the party line was a certain day and it released earlier, even when people were calling admissions.
What day of the week did it release last year?

Yes, you are probably correct @ColdWombat. The only change I see is that I think there was a “Cancel Application” link that no longer exists.

Last year it released 1 day early, on Friday. Last year they also released some RD decision ahead of EA decisions, which is kind of weird. I haven’t heard any chatter about that this year though – perhaps they stopped doing that.

Purdue has historically been known to release earlier but usually they give students a heads up the morning of or even the day before. I don’t think that has happened this cycle (at least not yet).

Yeah, last year they did announce 1 or 2 days in advance that there would be an early release. So I’m not feeling the early release for this year.

Always has been a Friday (last 2 or 3 years)

I’m not particularly anxious for this decision, but lots of people I know are feeling this way about the release date questions!
EDIT: and now I’ve seen an email from someone in admissions saying decisions will be released BY 5PM on the 15th. Which is what they said last year. Sheesh!

I also haven’t seen clarified if someone called admissions and whoever answered the phone (likely a student employee) said the 15th, or if an actual AO who knows the release date is finalized answered. Guess we’ll find out this afternoon lol!

So if it still just says “complete “ does that mean a deferral?
Maybe they’re doing it by region or major….

Definitely does not mean deferred. They are probably updating everyone’s portal. It will take time. Likely yours will change to decided sometime before the actual decisions come out.
