I called the office and was told the portals "should be updated today," but they didn't know what time.

Impatience! And I should be getting my letter from NCSU in the next day or so. Someone give me good news!

If I don't get into Illinois it will be Midwestern for me. All other schools have said no. I figure we should know something before the close of business day, so maybe 2 1/2 hours left of waiting?

So, I am thinking since they said it "should" change today, that its not going to.

Has anyone heard of a school updating their portal after close of business day?

And this does stink, stayed up late for nothing!

U of I is the only school I've applied to that even uses a portal...I have however gotten emails very late from other schools and other schools that make phone calls have made them up until like 9:00 so crazier things have happened but I'm not counting on it.
 
Grrrr. Now I'll either won't be able to sleep or I'll wake up multiple times during the night to check if anything has changed. Booooo

I agree, if only my mind understood that. I already couldn't sleep last night from anticipation.
 
What's the point with making everyone wait? It would seem that they have everything ready if they suggested it would be up on the portal today and today was their target date. So I really don't understand the wait then? I figured they didn't want a million phone calls and would wait til the last minute but not to update at all? I haven't known them to do anything in terms of "updating" during the weekend. I guess it could always happen though. I wonder if they have some sort of timer set up for the portal to update? Ahhh...this is the worst wait ever! Such a great school...we all just need to know already!
 
I'm going to bed! Good night everyone and maybe when I wake up tomorrow we will all know. Here's to hoping!
 
did anybody try calling again? i almost wish they'd give us a later date than they anticipate so i can be pleasantly surprised if it comes "early" because this is killing me

Hmm.. I wonder if letters were mailed?

I was wondering that too. I hope they were so we can get them asap!!! I'm tired of looking at this portal....

It's interesting because it looks like in previous years they purposely would NOT update the portal until after they felt like people were receiving their letters. For them to say that this cycle they would update at the same time and then not do that, it's just weird. Almost like a glitch at the last minute or something. Who knows! I guess we've waited this long....
 
It makes me so angry when schools don't do things when they say they will

PS - Now that I think about it, I think the woman's words when I called actually were that the portal "is supposed to be updated today." Well either way it doesn't matter, it still wasn't updated

The portals took awhile last year. We had interviews on 2/17 and my portal wasn't updated until Friday 3/1, but interviews were a week earlier this year. In state people had already been receiving letters before my portal was updated at like 9pm mountain time. My letter came the next day.

I hope it's updated on Monday because I only have 2 schools left to hear back from. I need some kind of idea of my future right now.

Really?? How did you find out the letters were sent? I'm IS-living in Champaign and I usually get the mails within two days at the latest and haven't received one yet...
 
Some girl works at the diagnostics lab and they told her? I dunno though, this whole waiting thing is a game... The mail is stupid

Maybe they went out late on Wed? If this is true I am hoping to get a letter tomorrow - I live about 2hrs south. BUT, I would think that anyone living in Champaign would have gotten them today at least. :shrug:
