NYU Admissions Letter?

My friend got hers in the mail last night, but last year, people I know that got accepted did not receive theirs until late March/early April. Was her letter mailed by mistake, or is NYU mailing them out early this year?

<p>Some (increasing numbers, actually) schools send out early acceptance letters to students they consider among their top applicants. It isn't officially on most of their admissions schedules, but it's a great winter pick-me-up for those who get such letters.</p>

<p>NYU sent out notification for admissions into their General Studies Program early. They have not, though, sent out regular admission letters for their other schools.</p>
