American University ED1 2024 Thread

This is a thread for both discussion and sharing decisions for AU Early Decision 1 for the class of 2024. Good luck to everyone who applied!!

My DD applied ED to American. She’s eagerly waiting for decision day!

New Years Eve is either going to be amazing or awful in our house! ?

Right! I am nervous/excited to receive the decision in December. Do you know if it is through mail or online this year?

Do we know if 12/31 is decision day or if they are done on a rolling basis before that date?

It’s not rolling, they notify by 12/31, meaning we should expect to find out relative to the third week of December.

Last year they mailed out letters on 12/18 and the year prior on 12/15. Hopefully that will be the case this year also.

Does anyone know- will it show in portal before a letter arrives?

During an information session they said ED decision will come out 12/15

Fingers crossed for hearing early! Looks like the last few years decisions have come out Mon/Tues but will need to keep watching Twitter!

Fingers crossed it’s earlier than the 31st! My DD is anxiously awaiting the decision!

There is a good chance you find out before hand! I have a friend whos a freshman and she found out week of Christmas

Make sure to check twitter!

Are you seeing updates from admissions on Twitter? I haven’t seen anything since ED1 closed. …

yeah I have but they have all been about like holidays and winter break. I haven’t seen anything about admission.

Last year the tweet was on 12-15 so probably need to wait a little longer sadly

It looked like last year they mailed decisions out instead of updating the Future Eagle portal, but some people in last year’s ED1 thread were saying that if they were able to make an account with the accepted student portal, then they could see if they got in. Some people called the admissions office and they said that being able to create the account in the first place didn’t necessarily mean anything, which I’m sure is true because of Internet glitches and whatnot, but it looks like some people legitimately found out that they were accepted this way — I wonder if that’s how it’ll go this year.

Emailed my admissions rep and they said to expect an email in the next few weeks telling us when the portal will be updated. Seems like decisions will be released on the future eagle portal first

any guesses as to when decisions will be released?

According to last year’s ED thread it looks like they mailed letters out on Tuesday the 18th
