Starting the thread. I applied early action in October. Haven’t heard back but hopefully soon
Keep getting parent newsletter emails…
I received an email tonight saying good news is coming. It said congratulations and “we look forward to welcoming you”. It’s not an “official decision” because the email stated that those come out next week.
i also got an email today saying “we look forward to welcoming you to the incoming class” and it said congratulations, but it said to wait for my portal for official results
Same email here yesterday…
My daughter got a similar email saying good news is coming soon, and she was accepted ED a few days later. Congrats - I think you are in!
I just called to ask and they said that for those who got an email last week should expect a letter in the mail in the next 10 days.
My son got a similar email, and found it a strange way to (sort of) inform students of admission decisions. Maybe next year they should send out an ambiguous string of emojis instead.

I believe the official date of response for RD is 4/1, but they may send admission responses earlier.
Actually, according to their Instagram, they’ll be releasing some decisions 3/14 at 6PM!
