2020 M10 Decision Release Timing...

Correct.

Upthread, it was stated to keep everything in EDT so I added schools in EDT. Assuming others did too.

(Not to get complicated but loomis email actually said EST but I’m pretty sure they meant EDT since time change is this weekend.)

Thacher is sending emails at “12:01 am.” It didn’t specify Pacific or Eastern time.

I noticed that Cate is also releasing at “3 am”. Again, time zone wasn’t specified.

Any idea/theory why these schools chose such odd hours?

Does Choate release the results via email or portal?

1 Kiwi 1, I think they post on the GoChoate! portal. I haven’t gotten an email or anything from them yet. Got the portal info from a 2010 thread on CC… don’t know how accurate that info is 10 years later lol

Hi gmmnvctra, thank you so much. I’m glad I am not the only one who hasn’t received an email from Choate. They will probably and hopefully send out one soon.

Thank you again.

Interesting I wonder if Woodberry is “rolling” out decisions due to “technical issues”…good luck on March 4th!!

Thacher 3:01am Eastern

Cate and Thatcher are California schools. 3:00am EST is midnight California PST. I think that’s why the odd 3am from those two.

Thanks to the posters who replied upthread about Thacher and Cate. I looked at other schools’ timing and only the CA schools are sending emails in the middle of the night. I just find it odd. Last year Thacher sent emails at 7 am on Saturday, March 9.

For those who’ve applied to Thacher, best of luck! It’s a special place.

Cate 3:00am
Thacher: 3:01am
Deerfield: 6:30 - 8:00am

Thacher admissions confirmed via email yesterday. Their goal is to send the notifications out via email at 12:01 am PST, which is 3:01 am EST, barring any technical issues. They said if you do not receive word by 5:00 pm EST / 2:00 pm PST, to email admissions. They will email the student and guardian/s.

This is the only school I’ve heard from with specifics… Is there another thread with current, confirmed times? Or is this it - the shorter list above? Is the longer list not confirmed for this current year?

Thanks!!

I believe the short list is confirmed times via email or verbal communication from the school.

Correct.

The shorter list is confirmed times from communications this year.

And not to split hairs, but they are in EDT, not EST.

SAS at 10 am

@MDV1975 I don’t mean to discredit you by any means (I actually became ecstatic when you said 7 AM, as it was earlier than I would’ve thought!), but where did you get this information from? The email sent out to the applicants vaguely stated that it would come out sometime in the morning, and I was just curious to where you got the exact time from.

“TFW none of the schools you’ve applied to are in @MDV1975 's post :)”
