Decently. For the past 5 years it's always been before 1pm: https://hksadmissionblog.tumblr.com/post/183452408863/2019-application-reading-and-decision-process https://hksadmissionblog.tumblr.com/post/171900221768/2018-reading-and-decision-process-post-18 https://hksadmissionblog.tumblr.com/post/158156506673/2017-reading-and-decision-process-post-20 https://hksadmissionblog.tumblr.com/post/140752084188/2016-reading-and-decision-process-post-15 https://hksadmissionblog.tumblr.com/post/113346302808/all-2015-masters-program-decisions-released

I am still able to login
-
New account. Not sure what your hypothesis here is though?
-
Yes they did
-
To be honest I don't think I checked the financial aid portal so can't recall changes
-
Imagine seeing a blogpost saying "we were just testing our systems to make sure they were good to go for the final decision release tomorrow"
-
Do you mean more than what "justaname" posted in the screenshot? Or the same stuff?
-
Do we know if financial aid decisions are announced at the same time? Or does that come as an update later on the portal?
-
Same! But that might be a standard update to the entire portal.
-
And the email did not have the decision. It just says "there is an update to your application"
-
The portal updated before the email came through.
-
I am a re-applicant. Last year I got my decision by around 1230-1pm Eastern Time
-
What does the financial aid website look like for y'all? Don't remember what it was before to know what changed
-
For sure! Which I'm sure the Ad-com realizes and is trying to factor in to their admission yield models as well - as someone on this thread had previously suggested.
-
?? Is Tumblr a thing outside of HKS admission blogs?

MIT and Harvard are online for the Spring. Almost no school has made a decision for the Fall since it's an evolving situation. Schools are focussed on moving everything online (it's spring break for most right now) before next week. The second focus is going to be ensuring internship offers are not rescinded. Only after that would they start thinking of the fall. Atleast that seems to be the tone at MIT. You can use some of the market externalities as a proxy. E.g., airlines are only waiving change fees till the end of April at the moment. So it's a waiting game for everyone.

Waiting for an analysis on what this blog post means!

Not to be a debby downer, but I am confused as to why we believe decisions will come out today? I don't think there has ever been a year where the decisions come out on the same day as the "admitted students" post.
-
I feel we are only going to get a decision on Monday. Matt is probably going to post the "admitted students" post tomorrow. Apart from the reasons stated around the delay, something else to consider is the effect of COVID 19. Usually decisions on admits comes with details about admitted student weekends, financial aid etc. Given everything is going virtual and the chaos around it in Cambridge (trust me it exists, I'm at MIT right now) they probably need extra time to sort things out.
-
I'd hope that the decisions are posted this week, since Harvard goes into Spring Break next week.
