Admissions Decisions Already Out?

Hi everyone!

A few seniors at my high school (in Pakistan) were informed of their decision (all accepted) today (February 10th, 2016). However, the admissions notification date is April 1st, as all of you already know.

I am somewhat worried that this may mean that I have been/will be rejected and/or that I was not good enough to receive a decision this early.

Has anyone else received their admissions decision this early? And if you have any knowledge on the matter, is not receiving an admissions decision so far detrimental to my chances of being admitted? It may be helpful to note that NEU processed my passport copy yesterday (February 9th, 2016) and that I have very similar stats as those that have been accepted so far and focused, and good ECs.

Thank you for your time!

Yeah some students have been notified that they were accepted as either University Scholars or in the Honors Program and/or having received Merit Aid.
Regular decisions are in March.

Although, two of the students who received their decision were not accepted into the Honors Program/Merit Aid/nor University Scholars. I’ll double check to be sure. Thanks!
