@GullibleDemonicChimpanzee: Just asking about when I should expect a decision, I know some schools will expedite if you ask if you have other school deadlines coming up. I applied in November so felt like it was an appropriate amount of time that has passed for me to request that
applied Nov, UR1 Jan 4, UR2 today hopefully decision this week ffs
I went UR1 a week after applying and haven't hear a peep since (that was in SEPTEMBER!)
I'm delusional and I think if they were going to reject me they would've by now
