Wow, can't believe they dropped the ball on all of the EDs...they seriously offended so many people who were putting them first. I am definitely irked at them, but don't think I will let that cloud my judgement on deciding where I commit to.

Honestly so many schools say they will get out decisions in ___ amount of time and it never ends up that way. It’s just the process which is dumb but you gotta also understand how many apps they get through in such a relatively short time. Also I do understand some schools have a great turnaround as well which makes you wonder why others are slower. Definitely agree that it shouldn’t be your deciding factor on a school though.

I think the only issue here is that they made us all sign a contract for Early Decision, binding us to pay early and commit and then they went back on it. That's what the issue is. Let's hope we all get in at this point haha!

I'm sure they'll at least push the date the deposit is due. My letter was dated 10/03 (received 10/7?) and my deposit is due on the 31st! Still a bit peeved that they didn't give me my full 30 days, but as others have stated- tuition/board scores/PBL 👍

but for real, they have to go through an absurd amount of apps if they are doing everyone today
Lol they better get to me today, I'm not going to give up an acceptance elsewhere in hopes of them maybe someday accepting me! Hell that's why I chose ED in the first place so I wouldn't have to be dealing with this scenario

How long did it take for the other wave of ED to get their letters after their portals changed?

Mine changed on a Tuesday and arrived to me in Texas the following Tuesday. I should note, that Monday was Columbus day so mail wasn't going to be delivered then.
 
Just called the office of admissions. I got the response that it is because I am international, and even tough my application is great, chances for admission are very low. The gentleman acknowledged that they state that they consider international applicants, however, in reality they do not accept any international students. I feel pretty stupid about submitting my primary there.
I did exactly the same thing and I did not even receive a secondary (514MCAT and 3.7 GPA international)
