same! excited because this means it is an accept or reject

also doesnt have my withdraw button anymore!

Same and I just spent way too much time searching through old threads and nothing is conclusive. I’ve seen deferred and rejected people say their withdraw button was missing. It seems like there are also cases where accepted lose the button as well. Schools send a different form to confirm WL ppl so they don’t need the withdraw form for them either.

When ur button disappears it likely means they’ve just added a decision to your application - nothing else.

For EA, at least, withdraw button meant they deferred you, and no button meant that they had made a definitive decision(i.e reject or accept)

Probably 4 more hours.

S23 is at boarding school, so I’m waiting for someone to post on this thread before I nag him to open his portal.

Admissions site says late afternoon. I am guessing that means maybe 4 pm EST. Thoughts?

Did anyone get in ED2?

DS accepted. NYC public school. :slight_smile: Anyone else?

DS did as well - west coast private school. 34 ACT, 4.0, very deep nationally-recognized EC that probably tipped the scale, though he had a lot of fun with the supplemental essays and video, which his counselors told him would really help.

DS got in as well – similar to FLG’s DS, west coast private school, 34 ACT, just under 4.0 unweighted. A lot of entrepreneurial EC. Was deferred EA; submitted an additional letter of recommendation and a 2 minute video for ED2.
