I'm inclined to believe you'll get your decision before Thanksgiving.

Don't necessarily expect to, but I don't think they'll have people in the office that day or Black Friday.
So do they really have people in the office sending out these decisions? I sort of assumed they just scheduled the emails, given the odd hours and weekends and such.

Man, if I get in before Black Friday, I'm buying EVERYTHING and telling myself I deserve it >:D

I think there are actually people either in the office or working from home on them. I think if the emails were scheduled they would be at consistent times whereas that really hasn't been the case.

Applied PT and was PR'd today. Kind of figured it since my stats aren't too great (170, 3.34) but was hoping for the best. Anyone know how well people on PR fared last year? Really hoping I get in as Duke is my top choice...

Splitters rejoice! In via PT last night!

They definitely waited until the final hour of day 10 though

Anybody know if going complete means they filed my request to not have my app held for my December score? I haven't gotten a response from them about it yet and don't want to pester them with another email if someone here knew.

With you on this one. I'm also waiting for a response regarding not holding my app. Really don't want it to mess up my PT app

I'm UR1 as of yesterday after submitting a couple weeks back. Regular decision.

Relax! It's out of your hands now. You felt good enough about your app to submit it which means you've done your part.

So my status checker changed yesterday to read "Type: Regular" above my review information and I thought it looked out of place. Today that information is gone....Applied a while back and have been UR since October.

I think someone was trying to keep track of their stool and ending up logging into the wrong app.

I check my status checkers with regularity so I catch when little things change. And I looked at all of my others and none say "Type:Regular". So I am pretty confident there was a change. No idea what it means but I wanted to point it out in case anyone else noticed that. I was going to bring it up yesterday but wanted to have my facts straight today.

I meant the adcomm. When they reported the "type:regular". Sorry. Ref. ambiguity.

I just went under review. Didn't get a reply from them so it's probably not necessary if I'm correct in assuming they'd only review my app if they removed the hold.

So fucking nauseous

I think I can 100% clarify it now (or at least 99.9%): yesterday, my app said "hold for December LSAT score" and today it says "complete" instead. So even though they didn't respond, I'm guessing they got my email and there's no hold now.

Don't panic! Just workout so much that you're too tired to obsess over it.

Some others in this thread have mentioned that the Thanksgiving break might prolong the 10-day wait. Hope it doesn't for you!

In the email they sent, they mentioned a decision might not be made until the first few days of December because of Thanksgiving

Hopefully they just end up being fast readers and decide before then though lol

this is probably a dumb question but what does 'ten days' really mean? my application was complete as of nov. 8, but i still haven't heard back... do they mean business days??

10 days means 10 days. I suppose ignoring the thanksgiving exception or the 11th day emails. I'm assuming you are PT, you should have heard something. No "decision made" update on status checker?

Come to think of it mine was probably ten days since I counted the day I went complete as day 1. So yeah ignore that.
