Regular decision, how early has anyone heard?

Curious of WM accepts students earlier than their published timeline like some other schools. Thank you!

Regular decision comes out in the spring right around the time they state. You won’t hear early unless ED.

But some kids get those early postcards in Feb. The schools says that it’s only something like 20% of admitted RD students and it sounds like there’s no rhyme or reason to who gets the “likely” postcard. It’s been surmised that it’s just luck of the draw if they read your app early in the process and the answer is a definite yes.

One of my boys got a 'likely"postcard in Feb last year. The acceptance came in the last week of March. I think the Monroe Scholar letter came right after, if not with the package.
