<p>On the website it says that they'll notify by December 22nd, and it also says that the admission letters are scheduled to be mailed out that day. Two questions about this.</p>
<ol>
<li>How much earlier than the 22nd could people possibly hear back?</li>
<li>How will they notify us? Obviously not by mail, since those get mailed out the day we're supposed to hear back by. Phone? Email? Is there some online status checker I'm not aware of?</li>
</ol>
<p>I'm getting anxious! :/</p>
<p>When I had the interview I was told it will be mailed because they want to surprise us with an actual physical package instead of a phone call. I think he told me I should get a notification before the 20th, but even that’s so late I hate waiting! Especially when people from other EA/ED schools already know.</p>
<p>When I visited in November, during the information session I was told that decisions will come out on Dec. 15 through mail. Apparently if you’re accepted, your package will be in a bright orange envelope with “Congratulations” written all over it. If not, I’m sure it’s just in a regular white envelope. Nerve-wracking, huh?</p>
<p>Thanks for your answers! I really hope we find out asap, almost everyone else in my grade who applied ED to other schools have found out already! Pressure is on…</p>
