<p>Applicants who wish to choose e-mail notification must do so by 5pm on March 28. **Decision e-mails will be sent on Thursday, March 29th after 5pm (ET). **Please be aware that due to the volume of decision emails being sent, decisions may not be delivered to your inbox immediately and could take a few hours to reach you.</p>
<p>i think so.</p>
<p>It makes sense since that is the Friday before April 1st and I don't think admissions officers want to spend their April Fool's Sunday sending out e-mails.</p>
<p>Imagine the emails sent out on April 1st:</p>
<p>Dear xxx</p>
<p>We are pleased to congratulate you on your acceptance to Harvard........................................NOT!</p>
<p>The 29th is a Thursday. It could mean something. . . Nah, it doesn't.</p>
<p>Gives us a weekend to celebrate if we're accepted or a weekend to mull things over if we're rejected.</p>
<p>April Fools - that would be horrible.</p>
<p>Congratulations! You're accepted to Harvard!.....just kidding. APRIL FOOLS B*tch!</p>
<p>lol I'd LOVVE to go to school on friday... <em>cough</em></p>
<p>On the other hand, it makes for an amazing April Fool's Day prank on a friend who did get in.</p>
<p>"April 1, 2007</p>
<p>Dear [His/her Name],</p>
<p>It is with regret and deep apologies that I must inform you of the revocation of your acceptance to Harvard College... a computational error led to the admission of two thousand more students than actually planned... best of luck in your future pursuits! </p>
<p>I'd like fries with that.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>[Your Name]
Fake Admissions Officer
Harvard College Admissions</p>
<p>PS. Happy April Fool's Day!"</p>
<p>Wow. Just imagine the devastation. The line about fries is stellar. :)</p>
