Do some schools notify applicants before M10?

<p>I know some kids who were already notified and I was wondering under what circumstances this happens. Is the notification date M9 instead of M10 for these schools?</p>

<p>Yes I got a letter from Cate School in the mail today.</p>

<p>Well, some schools have rolling admissions.</p>

<p>Some schools (like NMH) initially were going to release their decisions on M10, then decided to release them much earlier…</p>

<p>My friend was called by Hotchkiss by an acceptance, but many of her family have gone there and she also was accepted last year but chose to not attend.</p>
