Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you

but yeah, I wish they would be a bit more on the ball here
[] InstinctiveCaringUrchin
19:07
I think they're killing it. Going to lose my mind
yeah this is horseshit
I was holding out hope for today, but I guess we’ll see next week :/
This is like the 4th week in a row that I thought that it had to be this week. Lol
14:31
i think that if Utah could not release scholarships on 02/21, they shouldn't have sent out an email the day before saying they would do so
15:43
agreed. I just realized that you can set your UMail to forward to your personal email though, so at least that's one less tab to keep open.
Honestly- should i email them and ask when I can expect a decision? It''s been 4 months jsut about
I mean if you do let us know what they say.
[] InstinctiveCaringUrchin
11:18
Who's ready for another day of no decisions no scholarships?! WOOOO
Yeah let us know when ya'll start hearing about scholarships.
[] InstinctiveCaringUrchin
12:00
I definitely will. But at this point I'm not holding my breath anymore. After all this, If they come back with embarrassing scholarships, I'm just committing somewhere else.
They probably will be underwhelming lol. I don’t mind them taking longer, but for them to not communicate anything is extremely disrespectful
[] InstinctiveCaringUrchin
18:53
What a joke. I'm livid. At this point, I'm going to withdrawal and start setting up plans for a different school
CoastalCowboy
18:58
How hard would it have been to just send everyone an email saying it was taking longer? smh
[] InstinctiveCaringUrchin
18:58
Exactly. Or not send the original email saying "hey we have these ready, expect them tomorrow"
[] InstinctiveCaringUrchin
18:59
and then to tell people, "oh for sure, over the weekend or Monday." Absolute garbage
Fuck those dickheads lol
Reddit is driving me nuts
Is that one of you that keeps commenting “Hawk Utah” on every single thread?
Idk, maybe I’m overreacting, but the lack of basic communication is very telling. BYU at least had the courtesy to reject me in a timely fashion
[] InstinctiveCaringUrchin
19:21
LOL no but I keep downvoting the Hawk Utah guy. I chuckled the first time but now it is every post
CoastalCowboy

Someone commented again on Reddit that they called today, and were told "the system" isn't working right and they hoped they would be sent out today.
CoastalCowboy
19:38
but today is over
19:44
sounds like they need a better "system!" I know earlier in the season they were struggling because of tech issues too
I can accept that (begrudgingly). What I have an issue with is saying that you’ll send it out a certain day while knowing you aren’t going to.

We gather together once again, dear friends, to hear the great silence from the U
Has anyone heard anything regarding decisions? Any updates would be super appreciated 🙏
they don't release anything on tuesdays do they? i though it was Monday or Friday barring a holiday
