You have got to be kidding me!

My D17 has two schools still in the running. One has rolling admissions and auto-merit. However, they also have competitive merit. Decisions for that are usually announced in mid-March. They’re still not out, and not anticipated before May 1, due to some inter-departmental delays.

For us, competitive merit would make a difference, so I sympathize completely. Are you thinking of asking for an extension of the May 1 deadline?
