<p>Hello, CC!
So I didn't apply EA/ED to any college, but I just got an acceptance letter from my "safety" college. I don't think they mistakenly put me in EA tho, because the EA decisions already came out two weeks ago. But how is this possible, when the school website said the result will be sent in April? (+ This school doesn't not have rolling admission policy.)</p>
<p>Also, I was accepted to its Honors Program, even though I never actually applied for it. I didn't even do an optional essay for it! The letter said I just had to sign my name to be considered.</p>
<p>What's going on? Is this an unusual mistake some colleges make?
I'm worried if I called them, they'll be like "Oh, sorry, that was our mistake. You have to wait til April for the result".........ugh!</p>
<p>P.S not to sound arrogant, but my stat for this college was above average... do you think this college just accepted me because of my high academic stat? ...I have never heard of this case tho.</p>
<p>Common App? D listed American on common app, no fees sent and didn’t apply, but was accepted late spring. Always figured they were fishing for full pays since she didn’t list them on FAFSA. I don’t think it would hurt to contact, if it is a mistake, it would be best to know now, it would still be a mistake later.</p>
<p>Happened to me too. Exactly as you describe. Basically, if they know that they will accept you, and also that you might be unlikely to matriculate there, why not just accept you now?</p>
<p>This happened to me at Villanova (which was my safety) last year! I applied 2 weeks after the EA deadline to meet a merit scholarship deadline and they said right in the acceptance letter “Even though you didn’t apply EA, we were able to accept you EA…” I think as people above said, if you are impressive and above average to this college they can and will accept you early.</p>
I’m so confused now.</p>
