<p>For those interested CAS’ twitter account said this today: Admission decisions will be sent out via email the week of March 4th. We cannot wait for the new CAS class!</p>
<p>Last year all admissions were sent out on the same day, regardless of what a school you applied to. Either it’s a typo or decisions come out next week for you guys. Good luck!</p>
<p>I just checked the CC BU thread from last year and people didn’t start posting their admission decisions until 3/24. I hope that the week of 3/4 this year is not a false alarm.</p>
