I too applied only to HKS.
I'm not checking my page for changes. I'll check only the final answer. It's clear the changes are related to their updating the system regarding the results, but I think we will be the ones to help next year applicants to figure out if there is any relation to the result itself. The previous change generated to much unnecessary stress to me. I love a logic puzzle, but this one is just too emotional.
I think the Admissions team must be working insanely to get all this right, and to avoid you get a negative when you should be getting a positive, or worse yet, you get a positive when you should be getting a negative. And if there is a problem with the system, then they necessarily need more time. I never thought the whole process would be so transparent and so friendly. The blog is great, there is a wealth of advice so we don't lose points due to mistakes on form, since it is content they are looking for.
Whatever happens, this was a very instructive process. Also, this forum here at grad cafe is good so we know we are normal in our anxieties and we can help each other. I like the community feel. Even the picky arguments are a good distraction from the wait.
My original guess was the results would be out on the 15th (mid-march), but I have been convinced by y'all that they are more likely to be released today.

Good luck (and strong nerves) to everyone!

I used up all of my recommendations for today, what a pity. Thanks for the good read!

Dinnertime was far delayed that night:
"Come over here", the girlfriend sighed:
"One moment dear!". I pressed F5.

But unlike us, they got spares 

Do you suppose that the admissions committee is reading this forum and giggling? 

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." That post dated from "March 08, 2016"   This year, the last post ends with:
"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.

Thank you for your patience."  That post dates from "March 06, 2017" 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!
 
 
 

why am i on this forum - it has unnecessarily increased my blood pressure....

Because, @congoAppMCMPA, there is solidarity in all having our blood pressures raised together.

I remember that feeling...

I find myself reminded of high school. The teacher enters the room with this extra bulgy bag. She must have the tests in that bag. Will she announce the grades today? So far, she hasn't said anything about it. My belly tenses up a little. I can't help it.
