The honors program at MSU is great. Lots of opportunities with it. Congrats to your daughter.

I like it except, I donāt think something that negatively affects like a low score should be disregarded. The kid might have a low test score but a great recommendation or be outstanding in some other area.
Maybe whatās worse is, they actually know that the applicants are SMARTER than they are and they are selecting applicants based on their own 20 something biases. Horrifying.
I remember applying to college when you actually had in person interviews. Most of the interviewers were old men. Not a great example at that time ( 80ās). But having people with a little wisdom isnāt a bad idea.

I am on other middle-aged forums. There are āseasonalā workers who are 2nd careerists hired to read apps. So not all 20 year olds. Anecdata.

so with the debate of the release datesā¦ is it still looking like waves are a possibility at this point or does it look like it may be one mass release date now? my guess was march 4th at 3pm est based off of past precedents but that could be unlikely now?
@Knowsstuff or @sushiritto ^?
Will applicantās portals change 4-5 days before decisions are released as they did leading up to the EA decision release?
Lol. Who knows. I am still in for Friday. I have been wrong before as my kids will happily tell you. 
ā¦
I just donāt see them Not doing some waves. I donāt see how not doing it the way they have historically done it benefits them in anyway.

Again, who knows but I would look for little changes this week. Sometimes it doesnāt occur until the day before. But of course maybe not.

Is there a reason we are expecting decisions so soon? Is it rolling ? or sent out to only some people? I tried reading a bit in previous posts and didnāt see anything
Rolling
thereās a. lot of speculation but the idea is that there are three big waves (one in each month) and there supposed to release decisions in each one
Iām still a believer in Friday waves around 3/1 and 4/1.
But Iāve been dead wrong before. Let me take you back to 2019, I think, when I said Michigan would not release their EA decision on a Thursday.
Well, the schmucks did. 
That one time. Iāve never forgiven them for that āscrewup.ā In my defense, an admissions insider did say there was a hiccup in the process.

do you have an insider that can tell us EA postponed is coming soon 
Has it happened in previous years?
Thatās the thing, why does it have to be a secret? Would help to plan if dates are known.
