Priority track. It's a special app where your decision is rendered within 10 days of going complete.

They do. My tenth day was a Sunday and they sent me my decision after 9 pm on the last day. Really came down to the wire, I guess

why not write one? depending on your numbers, you run a higher risk of YP if you don't write one
