<p>let us pray...</p>

<p>Zetesis good point! And now I might be anxious for 4 more days....</p>

23

<p>this feels like new years eve 1999.. haha, what will happen next?</p>

24

<p>^ my site is not in maintenance! i have the same page as always after i log in...</p>

25

<p>The same thing happened A FEW DAYS before EA decisions were released. From what I remembered, they took the app status site off-line on a Thursday or Friday morning and left a note that they were "maintaining/updating this section of the site." Then a few hours later they put the site back on-line with no decisions. Then the next Monday at 4 PM EST/3 PM CST, they released EA decisions. (15 Dec) </p>

<p>Again, that's based on what I remembered from EA, so if that's the same trend, we may very well have a few more days of waiting left. </p>

<p>I think that they may have done this to temporarily increase server capacity so that they could avoid having their servers being overloaded by nerve-wrecked high school seniors when they release decisions. I think Cornell had this problem last year, because the system just completely crashed on RD Day.</p>

26

<p>ab2013, that's exactly right. My memory is that the status site went off-line on Wednesday -- but decisions weren't released for several days.</p>

27

<p>So then this is a sign that the decisions will be up in a few days! At least its some sort of olive branch as opposed to being in the dark still.</p>

28

<p>I think the real point is that there's no way to know what it means.</p>

29

<p>maybe its actually site maintenance...</p>

30

<p>I just called my counselor at University of Chicago...sadly no decisions will be sent today.</p>

31

<p>we all just need to wait a tad longer..i am sure we crazy bunch of people are gonna end up at the right place and after a few months, read these same posts and wonder how insanely crazy we were when decisions were round the corner..</p>

32

<p>oh, we are going to have SOOOOOO much fun reading these boards at this time next year</p>

33

<p>I'm thinking decisions will come out Monday. AHH!!!</p>

34

<p>i lolled when i read the discussion from yesterday</p>

35

<p>^read the EA threads and you'll be lolling on the ground. You might even die from laughter, because we were being overly dramatic. :)</p>
