@globalhumster I spoke with an AO regarding the dates for my Ds ED decision. She said that it would not be earlier so I assume the same holds true for EA as well. I would expect it to be the afternoon of the 20th. FWIW the ED decisions were released at 3:00. There was no email just constantly checking the portal!

Son just got an email requesting confirmation of EA. Basically if you’ve been admitted elsewhere ED, they want you to let them know by Tuesday. My guess is decisions won’t come out until at least Thursday.

My son got the same email yesterday.
I wonder if those emails (or portal notifications) could mean they are getting an offer of acceptance? Basically asking them if they got an ED elsewhere, and should they pull their application.? Or, were they sent to everyone? Or, just trying to make the pool smaller to go through? hahaha. so many questions!
Good questions, and guesses! Hard to say. I didn’t see it, but my daughter said it was a little strange and the wording sounded like it was a poll. It would be great foe them to know that a student has already received an ED offer elsewhere.
I suspect they wanted the ED info to withdraw apps so they could a) protect yield and b) reallocate scholarship money.
Someone said last year they didn’t send an email when they updated the portals so I’m sure my son will be obsessively checking for the next few days. He has no decisions yet and loves Mac.

Someone please post when they hear that acceptances for EA have gone out. Luckily, my son is trying not to check anything so he can concentrate on exams, but i’m on pins and needles! Once I know, I can advise him to check! Thank you!

I assume that unless we hear otherwise, it will be on Dec. 20th.

That’s my assumption as well. I believe the Mac has typically released admissions decisions on Sundays at around 5:00 central time. Plus, the deadline to respond to the email about whether you wanted to still be considered for early action was just two days ago and they will need to parse through the results of that (plus possibly track down and wait for the responses for any students who didn’t respond). So, I’m also guessing that the decisions will come out this Sunday.
I checked the portal one more time before I called Mac and it said grades had been received so maybe they contacted the school or my daughters counselor just knew to send them. Good luck to everyone!
I think so too, but it’s interesting that they bolded the statement that EA would be “no later than the 20th.” Daughter has two others coming in today. I don’t know if we can handle three. 
3 in one day would be a lot, BUT also so nice to know. good luck to your daughter;)

Anyone now have an optional “Early Action Admitted Student Programming Survey” under their application checklist?
