Maret jumps the gun by 15 minutes or so. GDS has in the past as well but less reliably. Most post right at 4:00.

Good luck, everyone! It's so nerve-wracking. I remember this day two years ago, when I nearly broke my computer refreshing the page. And yes, they all came through right at 4 PM. (Luckily I saw the acceptance one first!)

Same! We were in this seat last year. All will work out as it is meant to be. Good luck!

Anyone get a note saying decisions are now going out at 11:59pm rather than 4pm?

Yes, I'm seeing that too.

Thanks for confirming. Was afraid it was a glitch. I guess we wait a little longer.

Same! I think our kid is fabulous and a very good fit for their top choice, so I will inevitably blame myself (Did I rub someone the wrong way? Do people dislike us? Etc.) even though it could be the luck of the draw when it comes down to it. Hang in there. It’ll all work out as it should, accepted or not.

Yes, I will blame myself. Not rich and famous enough.

Lol--wait till college admissions when you can really start blaming yourself...

Yes. It’s f’d up when they keep giving you all those reminders and you get rejected

Did others get this call from Holton? We applied and did not get this phone call.

We did get this call. Might depend on which division you applied to because they have different admissions personnel - we applied to LS (Josie).

Did those who got this early “check in” call from Holton end up getting in? We didn’t get a call and then did not end up getting in for 4th. Unfortunately it was the only school we applied to.

Yes, got the call and got in. Also, the admission director called again yesterday, early afternoon.

The package was just admissions information. There was a cardboard cutout shield and a car decal in the envelope.
