<p>well I haven’t even had an email so thats bad to start with !</p>
<p>It’s got plainly that its 5 pm on their website</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m in Pakistan and it says “5:00 pm your local time” in the email. Well, 5:00 pm was quite a while ago for me, so there must have been a mistake…</p>
<p>That is what I meant - sorry. :)</p>
<p>If it wasn’t up at 5PM Chinese local time, I guess it doesn’t matter anyway… The website still hasn’t changed.</p>
<p>Seems like fodder for the conspiracy mill. Duke thread had a theory in regards to time-stamp of your data being loaded into the decision web site. If the time-stamp was 1:16 PM you were accepted and if it was 5:35 you were not. Turned out to be nothing more than speculative creation of the idle mind :)</p>
<p>^However, I thought since an overwhelming majority who got 5:35 were rejected or got likely-letters, it just meant that Duke did not need to further discuss these people and had somewhat “automated” decisions for them, and all automated decisions got the 5:35 time slot.</p>
<p>THERE MUST BE SOME REASON WE ALL GOT THESE TIMES!!??! <em>spazzes</em></p>
<p>my decision is up “no sooner than 7:00pm” (my local time).</p>
<p>Los Angeles for me. So i’ll be stressing later than i thought.</p>
<p>@drpvv Calm. Down. The majority of people from 1:16 got rejected also. You’re just seeing patterns because you WANT to see them.</p>
<p>You know what the reason we all got different times probably is?</p>
<p>“Hey, we don’t wanna have all gazillion hundred thousand of our applicants crashing our website at once! We want people to be able to actually reach their decision notice! Do a little lottery and randomly place people in different staggered times, okay?”</p>
<p>7 P.M. Texas here. Gonna be refreshing my page at rehearsals.</p>
<p>If you look, you might find a thread on this subject from last year. As I recall, there was absolutely no correlation between the time of notification and the result.</p>
<p>ugh this sucks i have yet to receive an email about wat time my decisions will be released</p>
<p>New Yorkk - 5pm EST.</p>
<p>Well, as others have said, 5pm local time has already passed for me, and no decision.
So, should I presume 5pm EDT? I’m clueless.</p>
<p>UGH Why would they have a “Click Here” button for the Decision if it’s just going to say</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’d erase the name if I were you.</p>
<p>Brown needs to get their act together. My email says 5pm my time (I live in Spain) and my brother didn’t even get an email about this…</p>
<p>It sounds odd that you’d get your acceptance when it’s only 11 AM here …even if you are international.</p>
<p>Yeah…it’s 5pm in most of Europe now. </p>
<p>I, again, wonder if Brown got their times BACKWARD (should have ADDED to EST for Europe, and SUBTRACTED from EST for West Coast…that makes everyone the same time). But they’re almost all exactly the opposite. Huh? So odd. </p>
<p>Though…I think the e-mail did say “NOT BEFORE”. So…guess Europe is still waiting…just like the rest of us. Hope it’s soon for you! Exciting to know it COULD be anytime now. Luck to all.</p>
<p>@lulwut88, I thought the same exact thing. I clicked the “click here” button and my heart dropped when I saw such a small letter, but then I actually read it and realised it was a placeholder. So cruel.</p>
<p>So weird. I got 5PM my time, 11AM EST, and nothing is up yet.</p>
<p>Did anyone else NOT get an email yet?</p>
<p>Thank bunches, Brown. Just another reason for me to stress. And I even promised myself that I wouldn’t look at CC boards today!</p>
