So those who applied in EA round and havent heard yet are surely dinged !! right !!
I believe so

Why? I'm confused. I thought the consensus was adcom notifies everyone on Dec 17th, maybe with some calls to admitted applicants a few days prior. What should/could we have heard by now?
ADCOM tipically needs 2 weeks to make final decisions: review all material from interviewed applicants in order to decide. In such way, Tuck will be evaluating the profiles in the next two weeks to release decisions on the 17th.
If you haven't heard anything by now, I would consider that a ding.
During my interview, the interviewer shared with me that after all interviews have been made, all members from ADCOM gather in Hanover to evaluate everyone (now with the interview report) in order to make decisions. this takes about 2 weeks.
