Yes, everyone being notified one way or another by April 1st is NOT realistic, not practical, and I don't believe has EVER been that way. It's usually the end of April, with some of those filling in slots turned down, notified as late as June. And those can be tricky, depending on "WHAT APPOINTMENT/NOMINATION was turned down". Some times the new appointment can be off the national list, sometimes it has to come from the local district/state. It all depends. But do not think that you guaranteed to hear something on April 1st. And maybe because it's "April Fool's Day", that is feeding the belief. Best of luck to you all, I know it's frustrating. Mike....
