<p>"Our office makes arrangements to have notification letters reach students beginning on December 15th. Once a letter is in the mail, however, its delivery status is (literally) in the hands of your local mail carrier.</p>
<p>Please remember that notification of early decision applicants begins on December 15th. This means it is possible to receive a notification letter within the next few days. However, it is also possible that your notification letter will not arrive on the 15th as this is simply when notification begins. We appreciate your patience."</p>
<p>Well, these next several days (possibly weeks) are going to be thoroughly enjoyable. I could've sworn NYU originally said that we'd receive notification "by" December 15th, not "starting on" December 15th.</p>
<p>This means I'm going to have to complete other college applications. Ah, existence!</p>
<p>Yeah...I was talking to my sister and she said they most likely send them out in batches of like a 100 ... no set pattern or anything...random schools, random locations, and random last names .. so I wouldn't worry</p>
<p>The message of the month on the NYU admissions website said they were going to try to have most people's letter to them by the end of the week. Who knows. I wish they sent them all out on the same day.</p>
<p>If they sent them Monday I don't know how they'll get to the west coast by the end of the week (since that's what they were shooting for according to the message of the month) hmmmm.....</p>
