I was just about to say the same. They’ve been so good about keeping us in the know.... every day this week. I doubt they’d suddenly just go silent.

Agree.

[spnfiim]

This year they might be releasing Admit plus FinAid together so the delay..

I'm holding onto the fact that SIPA early decision came in the late evening, even though that has nothing to do with HKS regular decision ?

If it wasn't going to come today 1) there would've been a blog post 2) there wouldn't have been glitches on the MYFAID page. I think they still will be out today but just later than usual

same here!

I've got to say, all this speculation is really unhelpful. Computer errors happen, they don't always mean something. Blog posts sometimes go unwritten when staffs are busy. The blog said it would likely be later this week, but it could just as easily be pushed back again. Just relax and go on with your lives.

seriously, I've been thinking this the entire time I've been following this thread ? 

[RisingPhoenixx]

Hey everyone, longtime lurker here. I'm pretty sure the results will be released today. Earlier today I called financial services to reset my password for the MYFAID portal, and the kind gentleman on the other side of the phone jokingly said "Are you ready for the results?" and I asked "Is it going to be released today?" He said "I'm not confirming it but not I'm denying it."

Fingers crossed everyone! ?

Sometimes i find it IS unhelpful for me, and then I simply take a break and don’t read ? However, at other times (like today as I’m sitting on pins and needles), it is nice to know people are going through the exact same emotions. 

[RisingPhoenixx]

But for those of you who are staying up late - Go to sleep. I could be wrong. You should always prioritize your health and do whatever you can to strengthen your immune system during a pandemic outbreak like this.

Locked down in Boston. Got nothing to do on hand but this excruciating wait. So, gotta gently treat myself with some fun entertainment! 

[Stonecold07]

I am off to sleep. Wake me up and it better be with a good news. 

[justaname]

I got to say these wild speculations - though labeled wild - sometimes are awfully accurate. The non-accurate ones also helped distract ourselves from the prolonged anxiety. I happened to also be applying to law schools at the same time. The r/lawschooladmission subreddit has even more wild speculations, along with vent, memes, all kinds of interactions that made the law school applicant community lively and ever more united. Yes yes, rationally speaking, our speculations might not be the most reliable source of information for admission, but they provide the emotions support that people like me needed. It'll be too cruel for me to just stare at my email, silently waiting for the results to come all by myself.

I just finished cooking a meal for my quarantined sister...May go on a phone-free walk here in a bit, though I can’t decide whether that would lessen my anxiety or heighten the suspense ?

Ok, do you guys think they'll be out in next 10 min...? I'm dying to sleep but couldn't.

My guess is that the result most likely will come out today but maybe later around 3-5pm. So, sit tight lads! There is nothing else we can do but mentally prepare ourselves for that significant email kicking in.  Worse scenario, even if it didn't show up today and would string into tomorrow, as I said, I won't be too surprised, really.
