Rhodes EA 2018

Hello!
Just wanted to start a new discussion as I think early action decisions should be coming out mid January? My daughter can’t wait!

Has anyone heard back about early action acceptances?

My daughter is still anxiously awaiting. I’m hoping it will be this Friday and not the 15th since lots of schools release on Fridays.

We heard today. Accepted EDII for Fall 2019!

Via email or regular mail?

Portal. Followed by email to student.

Yes, but for those poor kids stressing out on this early action thread, it is likely ED II was sent out on a different day EA will be, so please don’t stress! It is a totally different pool.

does anyone think itll come out tonight??

My apologies for posting in wrong thread. Fingers crossed for all those still waiting.

It’s out now
