How are people hearing back already? (spring 2019 transfers only- New Brunswick)

I’ve been seeing that people are already getting decisions for the spring 2019 semester with either getting admitted or rejected. I submitted my application back on like September 17th and it still says ‘In Process’

Do they typically update early or is Dec 1 when they release all the decisions???

The decisions are rolling. But I’m not sure exactly how they decide the order people hear back.

I applied for fall 18 and I was one of the last people to hear back, after the last decisions day, which was super frustrating.

All of my information was received 10/3 and I’m still in progress. Hopefully we hear back soon.
