Do they really release decisions by batches? and the metric for each batch is location? It doesnt seem making sense to me why they release decisions based on locations.
This has been the pattern for the last 10 years before the pandemic. The reason it was location-based was not because of the location but the time zones. Admissions like to congratulate you on the phone (probably the most fun part of the job) and so they would use the morning to call the international locations that they could reach and then transition to calling the US.
Since the pandemic and shortages of labor, and everyone being overworked, many schools have gone to sending out a zoom invite for all of the international candidates, but still calling the US candidates.
Harvard has moved to releasing all decisions at the same time a couple years ago. They were the first ones to basically rip the Band-Aid and one go.
