<p>American here, nothing for me. Just a hunch, maybe they realized it would be longer for you to get the actual physical mail so they released it to you?</p>
<p>It is not a strange action as some universities also practice it. Students are often given early rejection so that they get the chance to apply ASAP to other colleges or sometimes just to help students make decisions quickly by narrowing their range of choices. The scenario is always when the program you choosed has been filled-up.</p>
<p>@aks2014 @Trenchlord Same. @BlueGuitar But I doubt they will actually tell you even if you called…ESPECIALLY if you actually got rejected ( so informal and disrespectful to say “Hmmmm, let me check… nope, better luck next time” on the phone as your notification)</p>
<p>For the record, I know at least the admitted letters are sent through USPS priority mail, which means 1-3 days. I’m in Southern California, so I’ll let you guys know if anything happens. </p>
<p>@keepyourshirton they should be able to tell, especially since its showing on the website… Would at least remove the uncertainty about whether he is actually rejected, or just a system error</p>
