Admission Decisions

My son applied early action and we are expecting a decision in mid January. I noticed on their site, that they list applications they are reviewing by date submitted (for example “currently reviewing applications received on October 26…”) Does this mean decisions will be released sooner?

I believe that info you are referring to is indicating what materials related to applications they are processing not necessarily reviewing.They are currently matching up transcripts etc and those dates indicate what is being processed to complete applications… seems to me that after EA deadline they start reviewing completed applications. I recently spoke to admissions because my sons sat scores( I know they are optional) haven’t been received. She said that after deadline they begin reviewing applications for admission. In my sons case there is still time for his scores to be matched to his application until they actually review his application.

They don’t have rolling admissions so early applicants will all hear on the same day. If they release early I would be surprised if it is more than a day or two early (all should be released together).
