Also, I think sending an email with subject line that simply says "admit" is by far the best way to send acceptances.

Columbia sends admits emails. Their office closes at 5 PM Eastern & I've seen a lot of decisions, on days they have big waves, come in around 4:30-4:45 PM Eastern. My suspicion is they send decisions late in the day so they don't get a lot of calls

Makes sense. I wonder if today will be one of those days. Fingers crossed

Should anyone even get their hopes up for this month (even though they claim to get to everyone by the end)?

wait, is the claim that a wave of acceptances, and only acceptances, will occur this week? To be clear, is this supposed wave coming in conjunction with a wave of rejections? OR are we talking about acceptances all coming relatively at the same time (SOOON), after which we can sort of expect rejections to come down the road?
I guess i'm mainly wondering this to know if I should be excited about a possible acceptance coming today/tomorrow without worrying about a possible rejection at the same time. Wow can this waiting game sound any sadder.
