Shouldn't my son have been considered EA??

My son submitted his app on 11/15 which I just realized was the deadline for EA but he still doesn’t have a decision. Shouldn’t he have been considered EA or did it need to be submitted before that date?

Was there a place on the application to indicate EA? Usually a student can chose EA or RD. EA is not solely based on the date the application was submitted.

Oh, I’m not sure if it was marked off. I’m guessing not since he didn’t hear. Thanks

We are in the same boat. My son received a notice that he was deferred from EA into Regular Decision. I don’t remember if you needed to indicate that the application was for EA. But, he applied to Binghamton, Northeastern and Villanova all EA and was deferred.
