I'm in the same boat, and I'm inclined to think it's a clerical error. I interviewed the first week of December and called to verify my completed file the following week, but DLDS says I went complete mid-January.
Same I interviewed November 23...
I'm curious about this as well since I completed my interview in early December and am showing complete on the DLDS in mid January. But I'm inclined to agree with BirdLaw (and not just because they know so much about the law and various other lawyerings :P ) that it's either an error or just an arbitrary date due to some automatic update or something. Regardless, they'll give everyone a decision one way or another before the deposit deadline.

That being said, today being ten weeks from December 1st had me all hyped that today would be a big day for decisions but it looks like it's only a big day for pastries and packet signing.

What's DLDS?

Speaking of, do decisions usually hit the status checker, DLDS or email first?

Thanks and congrats! The status checker is still down for me and DLDS says I don't have a letter so I guess today isn't my day either way.

Can I ask when you went complete?

Logged in hoping I'd be in this wave only to discover I didn't go complete until 1/5. I interviewed in November. :x Is that normal?

Admitted in a previous wave, but if i remember correctly the email wasn't instantaneous (took at least an hour or so). Congrats BTW!

I submitted in late November, interviewed mid-December, and went complete early/mid-January.

Seriously, though, I now harbor a deep-seated hatred for that school in Boston. Fuck those guys for giving me minor heart attacks every day for the past three weeks. :D

From Johann's twitter: "hold decisions are on hold."

Did anyone else try to zoom in to his buckets of acceptance letters to see if you happen to be the one address label that shows? I need to calm down.

I've just started fully blocking all email addresses from Northeastern and all the other schools I'm not applying to. The block list is 30+ addresses long and emails from Golden Gate University LS and La Verne LS are still sneaking through.
