I wouldn’t hold my breath for tomorrow, if I were you.

If you’ll focus on the school academic calendar more than the absolute dates, I believe you’ll notice that the CV announcements tend to come out at the end of VU’s spring break, which was 3/1-3/9 in 2014, and 2/28-3/8 in 2015.

This line of logic makes sense, as I suspect the evaluation teams use the early part of the school break to organize and solidify their decisions, then send them out and enjoy a weekend before school reconvenes.

This year’s break is 3/5-3/13. So, date-wise, it’s later. My money says the email goes out 3/11/2016.

@ShouldBeWorking That makes a lot of sense, thank you!

103

It makes sense but I hope it’s not true!

Good luck :slight_smile:

105

Do you Guys know the exact days that the email was sent out last year and in 2014

106

I want to know because even though they send out at end of spring break, there is a chance they send out on the first Friday of March as that happens to be consistent also

107

Does someone just want to call and ask? On occasion they reveal the date…

108

@DonkeyKong466 , go back to post #77 and #87. If you look through the different posts you can find many answers rather than making a duplicate post. Best of luck.

109

Like they even used to release in February. Did spring breaks ever start in February?

110

I might call tomorrow.

@tutututututuru See post 100.

@DonkeyKong466 I believe your answer is in the thread also.

112

@ShouldBeWorking I saw it. I’m saying that if it’s a trend, it’s probably a recent one. At least I’d be quite surprised if many Spring Breaks started in February.

113

I still think it’s consistently the first Friday of March. Good luck tomorrow everyone!!

114

@DonkeyKong466 You could very well be correct. That is definitely another pattern. We’ll soon know. Best of luck!

115

What time could they come out tomorrow?

116

Sometime between midnight tonight and midnight tomorrow? Otherwise, I don’t think it will technically be “tomorrow.” :slight_smile:

117

Im not for sure but most college related decisions and such come out between 12pm and 5pm EST, PST,etc

118

Many colleges try to time them so kids are not in school, so mass chaos doesn’t ensue, etc. someone told a story about how one day they released UT Austin decisions at lunch and Texas public schools were a mess.

Posting this again as a reference since there are many questions on the timing of notifications.
DS14 received his CV notification email on 3/7/14, Friday at around 2pm CST. The UV spring break that year was 3/1/14 to 3/9/14.
In 2015, email came out on 3/6/15, Friday and spring break was 2/28/15 to 3/8/15.

The emails didn’t always go out on a Friday. Back in 2013, spring break was 3/2/13 to 3/10/13 and email was out on 3/5/13, Tuesday.
This year’s spring break is 3/5/16 to 3/13/16.
Not sure if this information helped tame nervous energy.
