I'd say you have a good shot with an ED app, but I would t recommend it since you'd most likely get into other T14s with money.
Aren't PT and ED different?
ohhh I thought you meant you got some special ED app. there's really nothing to make of it imo. I guess you should just appreciate an expedited app!
It wasn't me, was just curious as the advice for OP is vastly different depending on whether it's a binding ED or just the PT. Take the PT, don't go ED.

Is MyLSN the go-to resource for determining how likely it is to get off of a wait-list, or are there other places with information?

So right now, my PT app status says:

"Current Status: Under review
Current Status Date: 11/29"

Are you saying that at some point the current status date will change and that's UR2 / I can expect to hear from DLS shortly thereafter?

I've been UR since September, so I was hoping it would be soon. I will try to be patient for the next two weeks. Thank you!
