their fallback answer is if it doesn’t get through today, you can always check at 9 AM ET tomorrow on the website. it has been frustrating, and it will be even more frustrating to wait till tomorrow morning.
So if we don’t get the email in the next 15 min they are giving up and we just have to wait until 9am tomorrow??

need to pass everyone for this torture
called up the cfai now. the service associate says that now they are trying to deliver those mails that returned to them… WTF??? We havent received it right the first time around.
my guess is they have already sent the emails. the emails are simply going through yahoo/hotmail filter’s where only a few hundred will go through per hour. so technically we could get them in the next 5 minutes or 10 hours from now. someone earlier commented that they had noticed a delay in getting the announcement emails earlier which is the same problem.
my guess is that they should have talked directly about this to yahoo and others. how come facebook can deliver emails to masses in an instant? they need to have an agreement with them allowing them to send at least 10.000 messages in an hour. even thought they had to pay for that. preaching standards and not obeying them is an issue.
I second. Isn’t sending results to a set of people eight hours in ahead of another lot like giving unfair advantage to some clients? Sounds like violation of their own standard.
I suspect the delay may violate Standard V-A: Diligence And Reasonable Basis. Yahoo and Hotmail are two biggest email providers in universe. Before CFAI decides to use strategy to inform candiate with emails, have they conducted any diligent works on the feasibility research if the strategy works? It is common sense the practice (sending out thousands of email at a time) could be considered as spam.
js, drk, chitown, did you guys get the mail?? i am yet to
or have you signed off for the day? 6.40 pm and nothing yet…
Me too. I am in the west coast. My last name starts with “R”. I am not sure if that has anything to do with me not receiving the emails
I have not received anything and have resigned myself to wait until 8AM CST tomorrow. However, I’m sure the CFA site will be clogged with people registering or patting themselves on the back by logging in to see their passing score again or some bs so I won’t get it until the afternoon. Then I’ll find out I failed, band 10. Great start to the week! Worth noting: 1) I never received the first e-mail that the CFA Institute sent out about the change in results date 2) Because of #1, I was going to change my e-mail address to my work e-mail. But I DID receive the reminder e-mail sent out a week or two ago. Granted, I got it at like noon when it showed that it had been sent at 9:45AM. But since I received it, and I have a folder for all my CFA stuff in my Yahoo account, decided not to change the contact e-mail. Big mistake apparently!
Anyone get their email? Still waiting here. Last guy I spoke to at CFAI said all results were sent out by 1:45 pm EST today and that we’d simply have to wait to see if yahoo would process them by tonight.
Nothing for me.
nothing yet
Same experience. I dint receive the first email announcing the result date. Now I am still waiting…
Got my mail in yahoo. I am in Dubai, UAE
Mine finally came through at 8:40pm CST after I stopped even looking at my Blackberry every time it beeped for a new e-mail PASSED! Can’t believe it!
Mine just hit - PASSED! What a relief after this terrible wait.
