We submitted on scores, and haven't heard anything yet. Of course, we might have already received something... this is killing me.

I orginally was targeting getting the application together in time for application in June. But then I finished it in late May so decided to submit it. Recommendation forms from our teacher were submitted right at the deadline. If there is someone in the May applicant pool who completed the application after we did, I would be surprised.

Maybe different reviewers finish at different times. Dunno. It's a bit of a big black box. I sort of assumed they would send them all at the same time, but I guess not.

Recommendation forms from our teacher were submitted right at the deadline. Jrl -- The "May DYS" refers to the decision month, not the month that the application went in. Did you submit in May (i.e. recently) or in late April? If in May, you should hear in late June; if in April, you should hear by the end of May.
