do they still read apps even though the admissions office is on holiday break?

<p>from dec 23-jan 3 the admissions office is on break and they will not answer phones. but are they still reading apps? i want to know because i applied ED 10 days ago and am supposed to hear in 2-4 weeks</p>

<p>Assume no , admissions officers have lives too!</p>

<p>No. It is the South. Places close at 5pm. Places close on holidays. That is something you will quickly learn when you come here from somewhere else. To compensate for it though, the people that work in all these places are very friendly! :-)</p>

<p>I’d say to interpret “2-4 weeks” to mean “2-4 business weeks”, or in this case “2-5 weeks”. That way you won’t freak out at 3.5 weeks that no one cares about you. It is all out of your control for now, just sit tight, distract yourself, and wait.</p>

<p>thanks, it’s been a month and i haven’t heard. but i guess i should subtract the 10 days of holiday break out from that :/</p>
