For those curious next year (or this year), applyweb did not show a decision letter link for me. The "Supporting Documents" request thing in applyweb was a glitch, it doesn't mean anything. Just wait for the response via email. I got the email at 10:27 am (PST) today.

Agree. I have other choices but I have to wait for this result. Now there’s no apartment nearby that I can rent and I don’t know when I can get my visa. My friends has already book the flight and plan their coming summer vacation! Does this happen a lot in American universities? No offense just can’t believe it. Just a guess, they started going through most of the materials after 15th and there’s not much time for them to decide more carefully. I’ve called thousand times and sent many emails, but no response.

Definitely much less than 99% of interviewees are accepted. It's anyone's guess, but I'd say the rate is closer to 50%.

I haven't heard back yet but I'm pretty sure they haven't made their decisions yet. I would expect them soon though.
