<p>I applied last year: they’ll post the day that letters go out on their Twitter account, then depending on where you are the letters will take a few days to get to you. If you check last years EA results page you’ll get a better idea of it</p>
<p>In the past three years, EA decisions were mailed out on December 13th, 15th, & 18th. The website currently says that decisions will be received “before Christmas.” If you’ve heard or seen the 20th or 21st someplace, keep in mind that that’s just a target date and not set in stone. Depending on the number of apps they receive and how the review process goes, it could be earlier or later. They’ll announce it on their Twitter when the letters are mailed.</p>
<p>If this year is anything like past years, then once December hits, this forum will become busy with rumors, false alarms and conflicting dates from people who “talked to admissions” or “knows someone who works there” or “heard that a classmate got his letter already.” It’s probably best for your sanity to avoid those threads… but if you can’t pull yourself away, just remember: don’t believe anything until you see the official announcement from ND! </p>
