<p>Admission Decisions to be Released Earlier Than Expected</p>
<p>December 11, 2009</p>
<p>Restrictive Early Action applicants will be sent their admission decisions beginning at 3pm today.</p>
<p>Decisions will be mailed via email beginning at 3pm (Pacific Time), four days ahead of schedule. The admission committee finalized its selection process earlier than anticipated and in an effort to quell anxiety among applicants, parents, counselors, and alumni, Dean Shaw made the executive decision to release decisions today, December 11. Please understand that while we will begin to send decisions at 3pm (Pacific Time), it may take some time before your decision reaches you. Decision emails will not reach every applicant immediately at 3pm. It may take several hours before decisions are received. If we encounter any technical glitches or your internet service provider blocks our email, delivery may be interrupted and it make take some time before your admission decision reaches you. As a result, we respectfully ask that you do not call or write to the Office of Undergraduate Admission to request your admission decision. We will not begin releasing decisions over the phone until Wednesday of next week.</p>
<p>We understand and empathize with your anxiety right now and we will do everything in our power to ensure that your admission decision reaches you as soon as possible. Your patience is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Take care,</p>
<p>Shawn</p>
