@needtoknow101: I applied in early December! Went UR in January and then again in Feb!
3/4/24 - Has anyone heard anything about when decisions should be released? I talked to admissions about 2 weeks ago and they said that I will have my decision "well before" April 1st, which is my deadline for answering other school options.

@BusinessCasual I applied back in September and haven't heard anything. My application was also last touched in November. They might be trying to boost their medians this year since their rankings fell so much.
