<p>At this time I am not exactly sure when FA decisions will be released (the College Aid office and our office operate separately) but will let you know if/when I know.</p>
<p>Well, anyways, CONGRATS ON BEING DONE. I can’t believe the admissions office finished THAT MANY applications in a shorter amount of time than last year.</p>
<p>You’re probably right, but it’s still a huge accomplishment. A 42% increase? That’s got to be a record. Then doing it in a shorter amount of time than last year? Even if they rejected a whole slew of people without a second look, they still have to look at the entire application, which isn’t exactly a quick activity. They’ve got 4-5 essays, a transcript, SAT/ACT scores, and three recommendations. That’s got to take a good 20-30 minutes per applicant… not to mention that they have to take notes on each applicant.</p>
<p>Holy !*@#. I have to get up early on Saturday morning, so I really shouldn’t stay up until eleven… but I won’t be able to sleep unless I know… :(</p>
<p>At least we know an official day now. Huzzah for that. And kudos, of course, to the admissions office for taking the time to look over all those applications.</p>
