Ugh. Yes. Don't torture me with this, "you can do our write on even if we haven't (and aren't going to) let you in" stuff.

When does the write on start? Rather not needlessly expend efforts.

I wonder how tough this one is. My current school gives only 7 days but this one gives 12 days

Interesting, mine updated yesterday. No interview request for me, so probably getting denied/deferred. Darn!

If you had an interview and two status updates in the past two days then I assume that indicates acceptance

Just curious, what are you basing this on? I am pretty sure mine updated after my interview on monday 5/23, and now shows another update today 5/25. I'm doing everything I can to not get my hopes up too high haha.

Fair enough! I feel pretty good about it all, and really hope it is a good sign. I just hope we hear by Friday

2 more days. Does anyone know how they communicate the acceptance or decision? Is it via email or phone call?

When applying to GULC, there is a "backdoor" method for finding out whether or not you have been admitted before the official decisions are released via GULC's admitted students website. If you request login information and the system sends it to you, you're in the system as admitted.

Do we have any official confirmation that they will come out on Friday? I agree that it seems most logical given the timing and holiday weekend, so I would suspect friday, but have they officially stated anything?

Me as well. Are they playing with our heads? I've heard that admissions officers also have TLS accounts

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
