<p>When colleges list notification dates for admissions (e.g., December 15 for early decision notification), does that mean the letters go out on that date or you should receive a letter by that date? Are all the letters sent out at the same time?</p>
<p>Online notification usually occurs at midnight -- their local time. I doubt that letters are mailed so as recipients get them on Dec 15 -- probably look a few days after.</p>
<p>wouldn't the applicant need to have some sort of log in to view acceptance/rejections?</p>
<p>guitars: yes. Schools that provide online notification will generate a log in or supply a password for applicants. Only they will be able to know their answers</p>
<p>Check last year's threads for your colleges and you'll get a pretty good idea of when they are sent/arrive</p>
