<p>My application for one of my early decision was due on November 1st and I just received an email telling me my notification was on December the 4th. </p>
<p>Is this the sign that the school didn't have many early d and a applicants?</p>
<p>Not at all! Early means December. Regular means late spring. I’d assume it’s early. They clearly tell you when you’re applying, especially on common app.</p>
