**update
after 4 more loe(for address change,payroll deposit etc.) , 2 voe, and 2 more credit checks (for a total of 5 hard inquiries) I'm still waiting for a decision. At this point I'd rather be told to get lost so i can move on rather than being held in limbo paying for contract extensions while they keep doing hard inquiries(each over a month apart) further lowering my score.
