For what it's worth, I did get an early decision once I explained my situation. They won't release official decisions or scholarship information until the 15th, though.
I understand that they may have loosened up a bit for the circumstances you have.
For just a day or two, in absence of any urgency (except if I consider our collective anxiety, one

), I can wait.
I believe I have a great chance. Just yesterday, a contact at the AdCom told me something that can be interpreted as a positive sign, but can't say for sure. So, was wondering.
But hey, tomorrow.. whatever the decision will be, we will know (well, you already do).
