This survey is actually asking for a lot of personal information. Is this a scam? Did anyone else receive it? Expand I got it too! And although I knew this email might mean nothing, I still checked my portal immediately but didn't see any updates...

Lighthouse Lana Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Ugh, when am I allowed to email Rochester about my portal saying "decision released," but not actually showing the update??? I feel weird about it because I literally emailed them last Monday for a status update... I don't want to bother them too much, but dangling a decision in my face for three days is just RUDE.

Expand I just looked again and noticed something important: There is no date next to where it says “decision released.” All of the other updates have a date next to them. Maybe they haven’t made a decision and are just getting the system ready for upload? Someone said that they didn’t have this update before, so it seems that all decisions are not ready. I’d wait till Tuesday, since I doubt anyone will answer email on a Sunday, either way.

cassidyaxx Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Hi all! Despite what I think may be an encroaching shutout for me, I'm trying to get excited about other things happening in my life. That said, I'm presenting at NeMLA this Friday (it's virtual)! If anyone else is presenting there and would like a friend in their audience, feel free to let me know because I would love to meet some of you and see your neat research in action! I have the day off so besides my panel (5-6:30), I'll have plenty of time to check out people's amazing work. clara salmon, queenofcarrotflowers, Hard times! and 7 others 10
