<p>Since people don't seem to be using the school-specific areas, I wonder whether those who are waiting for EA decisions would like to share information about the dates and methods by which they hear from schools in a single thread here. Knowing whether others have/haven't heard can help in managing anxiety. If this already exists, point me to it! </p>
<p>For those waiting to hear ED from Northwestern, history suggests you’ll probably be notified via an email contaiining a link to your decision either today or tommorrow in the late afternoon. In past years, many of those emails have landed in people’s SPAM folders, so if you don’t get yours, check there.</p>
<p>Best of luck to all!</p>
<p>Emerson EA decisions are up.</p>
<p>Emerson EA decisions are up.</p>
<p>Any word from Elon?</p>
<p>Last year Elon’s date was Dec 20 - a few days prior there was an email notification sent as a reminder</p>
<p>Thanks, @Raam1012. The wait is torture.</p>
<p>Georgetown EA comes today or Monday depending on geographic location.</p>
<p>I know it’s not EA, but NYU-Tisch and Northwestern ED decisions appear to be out…</p>
<p>Are the NYU for the MT studio? Will they know to which studio they have been assigned before the RD’s, do you know? Just curious, did not realize NYU had this option.</p>
<p>We saw a post by a girl we know that said NYU for MT. Since there is only one MT Studio have to guess that she knows?</p>
<p>If you say you are only interested in MT, and are accepted, it would be MT. D had a friend admitted that way last year</p>
<p>Well that makes sense. But if you said you would accept either, you would not necessarily know at this point, is that right?</p>
<p>NYU Steinhardt also has MT.</p>
<p>@tramsmom - if you did not indicate “MT only” at Tisch, I don’t think you find out until April with the RD kids. It was one of the reasons D did not choose to do ED last year. (that and the fact that you don’t get financial aide info until spring either)</p>
<p>Ahh, thanks @toowonderful. I think its coming back to me now. This decision --NYU–is binding, right? And with no knowledge of scholarship $ that might be offered. WoW. Gotta have a Big College Nest Egg for that choice!</p>
<p>Exactly…</p>
<p>I agree @transmom and we’ve seen at least 4 people D knows post about Tisch acceptance. Wow!!</p>
<p>Not sure about NYU, but typically EA is NOT binding. Also, even with binding ED, honestly not being able to afford the offer is grounds for breaking the agreement. No school can, or would want to, force someone to buy an education they honestly can’t afford according to their formulas (acceptable debt loads is a whole other question). Arbitrarily breaking an ED or single-choice EA offer isn’t considered ethical, though, and in some cases there may be ramifications involving other schools but I don’t have experience with how that works.</p>
<p>I can say from experience, though, that Northwestern offers identical financial packages ED and RD, so it makes absolutely no difference when you apply in terms of what you pay to attend, and I assume NYU is the same.</p>
<p>The summer between junior and senior year D did the summer program at NYU, and when we dropped her off, part of the parent program was with admissions. We were told that if students were accepted ED they were expected to withdraw other applications and cancel other auditions. They stressed that students should use ED if they were 100% certain that NYU was their top choice, and that financial aide was not a factor in decision making</p>
