Not used to having such a fast flow. STS-132 is getting ready to roll-over and STS-131 just launched. Its great! 
It only makes Atlantis' retirement arrive that much sooner.
Missions have followed each other like this before (in terms of time.) In fact, 122 and 123 followed closer than 131 and 132 are scheduled to. This is nothing new.

I know Chris G. I was saying that this is a first for a while. I have only been on NSF (followed but not as much before) since the end of S ;)TS-124

I know that fast turnaround times are/were common. Especially back when we had 7-9 missions a year
Fast processing isn't something I'd be excited about in this supposed final year in the shuttle program.

So, the current plan is to roll over to the VAB on Monday the 12th, is there some kind of review that says yes/no to that? If so when does it take place?

April 13 is rollover. And there is a Rollout/Mate Review that has either already taken place or will take place tomorrow.

Currently rollover is scheduled for the 13th, not the 12th. And the review for that is called the Orbiter Rollover and Mate Review(ORMR) which is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday.

From Leroy Cain's FD 4 STS-131 post-MMT briefing on the Ku-band antenna issue on OV-103 (paraphrasing):
We don't have anything definitive yet as to the root cause, it appears to be a problem in the electronics assemblies that control the comm modes and the radar -- we have been thinking about what we can do with the Ku-band system on Atlantis, and as part of the Rollover/Mate Review the team will discuss options for troubleshooting that we might do before or after rollover. Trying to see if there are any steps we can take to prevent a recurrence of this problem, but in all probability we won't have a root cause until after OV-103 lands.

Thanks all, looking forward to the Friday ORMR outcome, do they normally send out a press release or other notification immediately afterward? They have invited the press to watch the last couple of roll overs (rolls over?), right?

Not per se. The press who will cover the rollover will be notified. But whether or not an official release is made is really up to Kennedy PAO and is driven in large part to what else is happening.
BUT -- if the decision is to NOT rollover on the 13th ... THAT we WILL hear about... you betcha.

I believe the canister has left the SSPF for rotation this morning.
