@JazzyGazelle: also why tf did they keep telling you it would come out sooner

Yes supposedly by next tuesday IF they're actually being accurate this time. During the call yesterday afternoon they said they can't PROMISE my decision will be out, but that they will basically have a wave before next wed (since thanksgiving break happens). Dean was the one who kept changing the dates on me, I think they just had a HUGE number of applications that they didn't really expect.
