<p>so i heard gettysburg sent out the early decision notifications WAY ahead of schedule. a friend of mine recieved his on thursday (12/7). does this mean they had a smaller applicant pool and it wasn't as selective? that's what i'm assuming ... so maybe this means it'll be easier for the rest of us to get in during regular!</p>
<p>Interesting theory. But don't forget there is also ED II; applications for ED II aren't due until Jan 15th.</p>
<p>Maybe they just didn't receive many apps for ED I. ED I apps were due Nov. 15th, so conceivably they could have gone thru all the ED I people by Dec. 1st or so.</p>
