Hello @emjayco! I am probably headed to UIC for MS in Computer Science.

Yeah. It's a reject. Good luck with your application!

Judging by the large number of people who have been notified of an impending decision to be announced today at 5 pm Eastern Time, I think they may have meant late March.

You're not alone in that...I am yet to hear back from 5 schools, although 4 of those I've given up hope on.

The way this email is worded, up to the first comma in the second paragraph, I thought I was reading my second reject in as many days! Turns out it only says - die another day!

I don't think emailing them will help too much; at best, you're likely to get a "too many applicant, very busy"-type response if you get any at all. (And not to scare off anyone from emailing, but I've seen at least one instance on the results page where they were sent a reject the very next day after inquiring about application status, although it probably was not the cause but only the catalyst for notification.) I do not know if you're applying for MS/PhD and for what field, but from what I've observed/heard it's probably like this: the schools have sent out some admits. and kept some on hold and outright rejected some applicants. (I've had all three happen to me.) If enough people from the offered list accept, so that their intended strength is reached, you'll get a reject. However, people do have some time, usually up to April 15, to respond. So unless enough people offered admission in the first round decline to accept the offer, there'll be no fresh offers before that point of time. Some, like SUNY UB, have set that first deadline to March 15, so they'll send out more admits shortly, I think. And if your school does rolling admits, I've no idea how that works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've heard of one or two accepts (and rejects!) being sent out in May. Finally, I'll reiterate that these are all drawn from anecdotal accounts and extrapolated, and therefore may only apply partially to your particular case. Good Luck!

You're definitely not the only person experiencing this. I start to get irritated with people around me for little reason, remember they are in no way at fault, calm myself down and... rinse and repeat!

From a google search and from similar forums, "being reviewed" appears to be the next step after "under review", at least for some people who got offers. Your application may turn out like @TheHoff's, so good luck! I went back and checked mine after you pointed out the two possible stages, and mine is still "under review". Again, some of the past trends indicate this may directly transition to rejects.

Same here, has been like that for over a month. I've seen quite a few accepts, as well as rejects being reported, so don't know what to make of it. If I remember correctly, it was stated on their website that decisions(+ or -) may arrive as late as May/June, so they are well within that time frame . One thing that occurred to me was whether they were going by order of submission, as I had submitted mine quite late. But then someone who submitted on the last day has already heard back, so it gets even more confusing.

Yeah I'm hoping for the same, but the patterns look similar. Not holding my breath.

Well the good news is Utah has shed some light. Bad news is the shade of said light is red.
