<p>When do we find out ED results? I know that Dec. 15 is the "standard" date, but is that date actually the date when we find out, or is it an estimate?</p>

2

<p>It's the absolute latest. I've heard of people getting it on the 8th, 10th, 12th, etc. So I think it's the week leading up to the 15th- some time in there.</p>

<p>Last year we got it 3:20-ish PM, 12/12.</p>

<p>Correct me if I'm wrong, but last year was the peak year, so I wouldn't be surprised if they finished everything earlier this year.</p>

4

<p>This is the peak year.</p>

<p>Last year they did 12/12 for the class of 2012, so I'd guess this years date might be 12/13.</p>

5

<p>^maybe.....but no, this is in fact the peak year. (The vertex in the parabola of competitiveness, as it were.)</p>

6

<p>then again, with the financial crisis, who knows how ED apps will pan out - it may be that the same number apply ED as last year - oh and 12/10 if you think about it, 1+2=3 and 3+10= 13 so maybe they'll notify on the 10th...</p>

7

<p>ED apps look to be up and most privates that have reported. Given D's new FA initiative, I'll be surprised if their numbers aren't up too.</p>

<p>Do they send you an e-mail telling you your decision is done, or do you just have to check periodically?</p>
