... except they were all results from years ago. No idea what @Andy Nguyen did to convince those users to get around to submitting their results, honestly assume he unlocked some error that had been accumulating.

I was really excited until a few dozen into them when I finally registered the dates. Still good information to have, but not a flurry of stuff relevant to this year's batches.

You are not the only one who got confused.
Turned out there are lot of people who mistakenly entered the date for the decision before the submitted date. For example, submitted Nov 2020, decision Feb 2020 instead of Feb 2021. We have to batch updated them. Also, we added a Financial Aid field so people can share how much they received with an offer.
These updates in turn bumped up a lot of old entries. If I find a way to update those without updating the timestamp it would be good.
Apology for the false alarm and hopes guys. This is a sensitive time of year and lot of eyes are on the Tracker :)

Makes sense, I saw some updates from users who are quite active (like @Qui-Gon, I believe) and was surprised they wouldn't have submitted the information the first time around.

I like the financial aid field, it is quite helpful.

Yeah, the objective for me to add those is to find out which programs offer scholarships and how much. They don't seem to publicly share these but these are very important factors for applicants to know.

I've already seen some scholarships reported that I didn't know existed, I think it will work very well.

If you aren't already, we should catalog all the scholarships that get reported and add the info to each program's description.

That exactly is the plan, Mike.
I know Chicago has scholarships but didn't know the range of aids they offer. I put this up from some info gleamed on their website and some sparse reports here and there.

Now that we have much more data, we can update them for all programs.
If you are willing to volunteer to collect them, I will update their program's info.
