Question about notification date

Does anyone know the notification date for RD (or deferred EA) for the past few years? I know the website stated Mar. 1st, but is there a possibility that it will be earlier than that date?

UIUC changed this year to March 1. In past years, it was end of first week of Feb. Process, however, will be the same. It will start releasing decisions about 4.p.m. central on March 1 and continue to issue decisions until late at night, i.e., you may not see yours until late. Timing of getting your decision on that date (early or late) is unrelated to whether you have been accepted. It will not release decisions before March 1.
