Last year the final paragraphs of the last post before release read:
"While reading off the names is the final step in the admission review process, it is not the final step in the decision release process. After I read all of the names off, we create test accounts and assign different admission decisions to different staff members. Each staff member will enter the system and make sure the appropriate letter is displayed and that the correct buttons and links appear on the new admit portal. This means that yes, we do have more work to complete. There is no need to compulsively check your email - when we do release decisions I will make an announcement on this blog. Thank you for your patience."

This year, the last post ends with:

Let's say that there is some similarity, don't you think. Therefore, we will most likely get the decisions today.
My prediction is shortly before 1 pm. That is one hour away now. Brace yourselves!
