<p>For Early Decision and Spring Admission that is...</p>
<p>I don’t think so. It depends on each college. I got an admission letter before stated in my web portal. And others indicated check mark on “admitted” box on my web portal but no letters as of today.</p>
<p>At my D’s college she did get an admissions decision at 12:01am on the date they said they would post decisions. It does depend on the college, and if that college has a forum on CC you can look at last years status updates around the same time that admissions decisions came out to see how your colleges might do it. </p>
<p>(p.s. don’t get too distracted from your senior year school work … it can be addicting to track each school’s status until your see an update.)</p>
<p>A large number, including most of your your high ranks, release decisons on-line at about 5 p.m. on the designated day, with that time determined by the time zone in which the college sits, and thus you have to suffer through one more day of excruciating anxiety before learning your fate.</p>
