<p>Are students who got accepted into Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, etc. usually notified before the official decision date?</p>
<p>No the majority of admitted find out on “ivy day.”</p>
<p>Some applicants receive likely letters for unofficial acceptance from February to mid march.</p>
<p>By joint agreement, the eight schools announce relatively simultaneously to avoid one-upsmanship.</p>
<p>By the way, “Ivy Day”, or the Ivy League’s common response date, is March 29, 2012 for Regular Decision Applicants (aka. in four days)!</p>
