RD Acceptance Letters Early?

<p>Do competitive schools like Notre Dame ever send out their acceptances/denials earlier than April 1st if they can tell that the candidate will be really good/really bad very quickly? I guess what I'm asking is is there any chance I could get a letter either way earlier than April 1? Or is that really uncommon...</p>

<p>To the best of my knowledge, no, but last year March 29th was a common day to recieve decisions</p>
