honestly at this point i would call. Their tweet implied they were done last week so you could just say you didnt receive an email.
ive heard of people that didnt receive an email and found out it was a mistake.

^^ yeah, last year they tweeted something to the effect of "we have released all decisions, please call if you have not received an e-mail." but there are a lot of you left, with very good stats...

True, but they didn't the year before, so maybe last year was unusual in that regard.

If anyone does call, please please let us know what they say.

I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot

I'm tired of waiting. I want to talk to admissions and make sure they haven't just forgotten to send me a rejection email.

I don't want to call the office either, for fear of sabotaging myself.

So here's the plan: someone get a friend to call. Here's the Yale Law admissions office number: (203) 432-4995

I've debated calling as well. I don't know that they'd look poorly upon someone who called because of the tweet. If they hadn't posted that they were aiming to get all decisions out by the end of last week, I'd feel differently.

for what little it's worth, I don't think a polite call—on April 17, no less—will have any negative impact on your application. They may not tell you much, but I don't think you will disadvantage yourself in any way by doing so.

If it helps I just called and there was no answer at admissions (they might be at lunch).

Okay I just called (using a blocked/anonymous number) and a woman answered and I said I was calling in reference to the Tweet and asked whether all the decisions had been sent out yet or whether there was a mistake and she said that not all of the decisions had been sent out yet.

She then asked when I sent my application in and I didn't want to out myself to her so I just said "in plenty of time" and said thanks and goodbye.

She sounded grumpy from start to finish.

I guess they are still waiting for professors to return their stacks of apps

Complete 3/7 (submitted 2/28).

Good luck to everyone else still waiting! I'm a bit surprised that we didn't all get decisions at once.

So sorry, whippersnappery . See you in Cambridge?
