I also received the "Your decision will be available at 5pm today" email but did not receive an email last week telling me to be patient like some did. Nervous since I have been rejected by CMU, Stanford, and Princeton but did receive admits from UPenn, USC, UMass Amherst, and Brown which are all decently selective so not sure what to think... Fingers crossed guys!

To the poster below mentioned about the "Please wait" email, I received the email last week, and the same "5pm" email today as well. But considering the number of "5pm" email reports, I guess it's more like a wave of rejs...

To the poster who is telling to expect rejections, how do you know?

To the poster below, I don't know maybe play some fortnite? lol

Guys, at 5pm they'll send out a wave of rejections. Sorry :/

I too had the same mail that decision will be available tonight. But I am having a really bad admit season and am not really hopeful as I have been rejected by lower rank institutions, plus one of my recommenders had to attend to some family issue and was unavailable and uploaded the letter month past deadline , so maybe we should not keep hopes very very high and in all likelihood it could be a reject

Just received an email stating that my decision will be available after 5PM Eastern Time today.

Hey guys! Just received an email stating that my decision will be available after 5PM Eastern Time today. I hope its good news. Looks like only a few people reported on here and they got in, so I'm really hoping that its a sequence of admits. Fingers crossed!

My status on applyweb is "for dept review". Any other portal to check decision?

Hi all, I wonder where the portal is so that I could know that I was rejected few weeks ago.

No email just checked the website. Oh well at least I can move on

For the poster who had their decision on the website, what website are you referring to? Where do I check? Thanks!

F***k this b***ch school! Made decision on Mar.14th(2 weeks ago) but the mo**er f**ker professor pretended to be interested in me. They even didn't send an e-mail but waste students' time. Worst school ever! Give my application fee back!

To the poster below, yes we did get the same email on the 22nd prior to our admission confirmation.

Waiting , patiently; very patiently.

To the poster below. Thank you! I got an email yesterday early in the morning that said to check the portal at 5PM Eastern Time, where the decision letter was posted.

To all the GaTech CS MS admission below, first of all, congrats! I saw many admits receive notifications early in the day reminding to check the decisions on portal by end of work day. Just want to know, only admit decisions can receive such emails or both admit and rejects?

To the GaTech MSCS posters below: Congrats! I think it will also be useful to share the specialization you mentioned in the form!

I received the email about large number of applications, and also received an email saying my decision would be available after 5PM eastern time. It says funding is for PhD students but I'm unsure if I can still apply for something.

Expected - undergrad CS at Georgia Tech, several semesters TAing. Did 2 semesters of research but no publications, and led a CS club. But no funding!
