<p>Just wondering (since I just submitted some RD applications to colleges significantly earlier than their January deadline) if colleges ever send out acceptance notifications in December to RD applicants who applied by the ED/EA deadline...</p>
<p>Has anyone experienced this?</p>
<p>Sorry, adcoms won’t even be looking at the files of RD applicants until after EA/ED decisions are made.</p>
<p>Depends on what college does for RA. Many do not issue RA decisions before some time in Feb to Apr. However, others may do otherwise. Example,: Michigan has EA which means you will get a decision of admit deny, or defer to RA by mid-Dec. However, it actually starts rolling out RA decisions in early Dec and you can get an RA decision any time between Dec and March.</p>
