<p>How do some people know that? Did Harvard say that on their website? If so, can someone show me the link? I know last year, EA came out at Dec. 13th but that doesn't mean this year it is going to be the same. Is there any reason to expect EA decision on Dec. 13th?</p>
<p>As far as I know, HYP have not announced their exact date for SCEA decisions for the 2013-2014 Admissions cycle. So far:</p>

</p>
<p>Why hasn’t Harvard released its EA numbers yet…this is much later than when they released them the past 2 years.</p>
<p>Maybe we are lucky and the numbers went down a bit (not that I’d count on it!)</p>
<p>If you look on the SCEA Applicants thread, you will see that there have been at least 10 people who have called and have all been told by the admissions office that decisions come out on Friday the 13th. So unless the admissions office decides to YOLO and send all their decisions out early, we can count on it being the 13th!</p>
<p>^^ Yes, but in the past, there has been an “official announcement.” For example, last year on November 29th: [Early</a> Applications Numbers Soar | News | The Harvard Crimson](<a href=“http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2012/11/29/early-action-2017-harvard/]Early”>Early Applications Numbers Soar | News | The Harvard Crimson)</p>
<p>yes it’s on the 13th! God blesses the boy I love!</p>
<p>jesus i am so nervous for all who applied</p>
<p>Trust me; we’re all nervous out of our gourds as well.</p>
<p>A bunch of people have asked and they said Friday the 13th. They called me today, and I asked before the end of the conversation and the admissions officer said Friday. </p>
<p>There shouldn’t be much contestation over this at this point - decisions will be sent at 5 pm on Friday the 13th of December… certainly.</p>
<p>^what time zone?</p>
<p>Eastern time zone</p>
