Anyone know what the heck is happening today? lol
called the admissions office and they said that letters are mailed out on 12/17 for everyone (both EA and regular). The portal should update on 12/19 or 12/20
@scaredsenior12 Are you sure they said regular decisions come out at the same time as EA? That doesn’t really make sense, since the whole point of EA is that you hear back early.
@scaredsenior12 meant to say both EA and ED1
ED1s have already gone out. It can’t be that. Don’t believe everything you read on College Confidential.
EDI already came out a few weeks ago. Now I am really confused. Since there is no mail on /17, means the letters have to go out 12/18 so they would arrive 12/19 and the portal would go live before the letters came. I heard some people called and they said letters are going out on 12/15 and one person above said they got their EA already. Anyone from admissions have any clarity?
yes
This doesn’t make sense. 12/17 is a sunday and there is no mail.
I can understand doing it by mail only. And I can understand doing it via portal only. And I can even understand doing it via portal and then sending something in the mail. But sending something in the mail that may or may not get there before the portal announcement seems kind of odd to me.
I was part of the Preview TU Program and for EA this is what the admissions officer Julie Slusky said when we asked: “The portals will be updated Tuesday December 19 at 4pm central! Letters will be mailed out Friday the 15”
does anyone know if merit aid awards have an effect on financial aid awards? (as in making them lower)
omg I did Preview TU too! did EA and I’m so anxious to hear back
So everyone seems to be having different ideas so Im going to try and bring things together. According to what everyone has been saying, letters are being sent on Sunday the 17th, or Friday the 15th. And portals are being updated next Tuesday or Wednesday. Can anyone comment and see for EA, when we will hear back (Preferably people who have in fact spoken to admissions counselors or who may be an admissions counselor). Lets not give people false hope:)
Good luck to all of us!!
EA is being mailed on on dec 15th and portals will be updated by dec 19 (I went to an information meeting and was told this by admissions counselor)
Awesome thanks. Does anyone else have different information (Please no guessing) to the one above? This way we can try to narrow down and see what is actually going on because I think we are all super excited!
@acceptedman it is definitely true that letters are being sent the 15th and portals are being updated the 19th, multiple admission officers have corroborated!
Awesome!!
I live in Southern California. So when do you think I will receive the admission letter?
Hi, @zacharyiscool25. You seem really “COOL.”
@zacharyiscool25 - it could be Monday, but probably won’t be until Tuesday for snail mail. On the online front, portals (in general) are not updated until at least 3pm PST to ensure the Cali kids are out of school when the notification goes out… HS college counselors have been pushing the later update times because they don’t want the kids finding out about rejections during the school day.
