[/ul]</p>
<p>It was the 28th last year. I don't think the admissions office has released an official date for this year yet...according to the website (which has said the same thing since forever) it'll be in early April...but most schools I've dealt with so far have tended to release decisions earlier than these general timeframes that they put out</p>
