    We got the email notification late yesterday that DS5 was accepted to DYS. :-) Looking forward to hearing from others in his "class"... Good luck to all who are still waiting to hear.

    OK. So, how do they notify if someone doesn't get in? Email?

    Very often they will say that they need more information, and I know some folks in DYS who were accepted after that. They aren't 'just being nice' they really mean it.

    Congrats to Susan.

    I have been much more lurker than poster since discovering these forums a few months back.

    We submitted May applications for both DD5 and DD7. I've been able to put the timing of the response pretty much out of mind, as having a newborn in the house provides a constant source of distraction.

    Out of mind, of course, only until I saw this thread.

    We haven't heard anything yet. Does anyone know if notifications come out in batches in a single day, or roll out over the course of a few days?

    I'm not sure, but we submitted just based on test scores, no portfolio. My suspicion is that portfolio submissions are more subjective, so they probably take more time to come out?

    Good luck to everyone. I hope we have a big "class" this month!
