Having checked the application thread for 2016, it appears that:
Application page change = Non-admitted (rejected or waitlisted)
No application page change = Accepted
Unfortunately, I find myself in the latter category; given admission rates, it would make sense that most of us should find ourselves in that category (application page change) given that the majority of applicants are rejected. If you see the post on the admission blog dated for 2/3/17, the 'notification' decision is dated for the 28/2/17. This has me believe that the decisions are already uploaded and that application screen change = denied because they are still building/formating the application screen for admitted applicants to include the additional resources they need. Moreover, it makes sense to remove contact details on non-admitted pages as many rejected applicants will seek to enquire/email the admission office!
I don't think it's as clear cut as this. I saw the same pattern as you on last year's thread and got worried, so I dug a bit more.
This user @shrimps said he/she saw a change to the page, but was admitted. So try not to panic
We really will never know what the page change means. Just a few more days until results!

I second PublicServant - I was being neurotic and checked past HKS blog posts and gradcafe results, and it's likely that the decisions will be released on Wed, the 8th around 1pm. This year's blog post series align exactly with last year's, like uploading one about decision categories the end of February. The anticipation is killing me!
Agreed! Based on last year's forum, financial aid was due Feb 25th and decisions came out Wednesday, March 9th. This year, aid was due the 24th... so decisions on Wednesday, March 8th makes sense.
