@Gavindorf why did you assume rejection from Arizona State?

Do you know what specific changes he made? Or was it just a general update?

Same. I saw a post that said something like "Post the PI if you want, and if the person didn't post their PI don't ask", and it was gone about 30 mins later, so I assume the mods removed it. I think it's a good point though. Clearly the posters lurk the forums/results page, so they're aware that they could post the initials if they want to. I can only imagine how much worse this is going to be over the next few weeks.

Are applicant portals updated to reflect formal interviews? Or are they only updated after a decision (i.e. accepted or rejected)?

When you say "they" do you mean the PI or the program itself?

I agree. If the person wanted to post the PI wouldn't they have just done that?

Looks like someone got an informal interview (seen on the admissions results page). I applied there as well- fingers crossed!
