A quick definition of concurrence:

Concurrence means agreement or assent. It can also refer to a judge's vote in favor of a judgment, even if their reasoning differs from the majority.

4/14 ACL? Like 4 days ago? I guess they’re actively considering you
To be totally honest, us 4/14 people are probably slated for the big R wave at the end of the month lol.
I'm very happy for everyone admitted to the U *intense sobbing*
oh yeah I meant 2/14, the first ACL

idk what they doin over dere
me when yet another week of schools sending out mass decisions but missing me (I know I'm a late applicant let me cope)
19:24
same i am still ur at nyu
it feels like surviving an execution
19:24
do they send all the updates for them at once at the beginning of the day, or are they actually rolling out decisions
19:24
i cant tell if ppl r just tracking late or actually getting them rolling
we r all lined up, blindfolded, and then the schools shoot people around and near you, and occasionally people out of the line. and u just stand there and wait for ur bullet or ur shoulder tap
19:25
ahhh got it
I think if it's R/WL, more likely big wave hit inboxes and people trickling in to update here last.
A's can be rolling tho
19:25
ok yeah then i dont really need to be refreshing every hour
The UofU has been calling people with admits which is more time consuming than just mass sending that god forsaken email (when will it be my turn)
It’s almost May and that’s making me worried
Its over this cycle
