That is correct and a bummer. Last year, students starting hearing in late October. Here is a confirmation email that we received from the office of admissions.
“That is correct, in the past we were strictly rolling admissions either, we were a modified rolling/ EA combination, but now we are transitioning to a straight EA/RD formula. We will have all application files that are complete by November 1st released on January 15th.”
Definitely a bummer. My daughters applied in 2012 and 2014 when they posted EA decisions on a single day, but those came out the first Friday in December back then.
