<p>So when do the rejections go out? After the April 1 deadline or before?</p>
<p>The first week of April.</p>
<p>So all the acceptances are before then?</p>
<p>No no!!</p>
<p>All the acceptances before April 1 are Early Writes. Acceptance letters WILL be mailed out at April Fool's day. Don't get too stressed out mate!</p>
<p>okay...I feel a tad better now...just a tad. Thanks.</p>
<p>kk so i guess this belongs here more than in the early writes thread:
basically there's guaranteed to be at least 500 acceptances sent out april 1, so don't worry!
221 students have been accepted early, and admissions likes to enroll 530-540 by may. if you use the smaller number, that means you have admissions wanting 309 students to enroll out of rd (after subtracting possible deferred admissions, but leave that out). if they count on a 38% yield, then they would admit about 813 for rd. so take the largest number of early writes in february and then trickling through march at 5 per day (from hopeman's post) - 200 total sent up through 3/3 (? is the day after the last early write meeting) and then 5 letters per day sent 6 days per week from 3/4 through 3/31 is a total of 320 early/semi-earlies, and that's only if they do the trickle-out like last year. So in the worst possible scenario- admissions wanting the fewest students (530) and sending the most early writes, there'll still be almost 500 letters sent out on april 1.</p>
