<p>We're 3 weeks from notification time. What's going on in the admissions offices now? Are decisions already made for most, with just a few candidates left to discuss? When do they finish their decision process?</p>
<p>They are having some tea and crumpets while they ponder over the application.</p>
<p>Here's a great link to the Hopkins Blog

<p>describing just what's going on these days. (Thanks to canadaeh for the link).</p>
<p>they're probably laughing at my application right now :)</p>
<p>They're going over the "hmm...maybe" kids over again.</p>
<p>I just sent in an update two days ago. Is there any chance that those will be processed in time to be a part of my app's evaluation?</p>
<p>haha yes. I believe they are making tapes of their maniacal laughter to send out to those really bad, time wasting applicants (like me).</p>
<p>Relwarc-
I just sent an update today (because I found out I won an award that was very important to me). Only the Cornell people e-mailed me back, but they said "We will connect this information with your application ASAP and we will contact you shortly if we have any questions or concerns."
I think it's fine if your update was VERY brief. And had some substance.</p>
