<p>i am an ED2 !!</p>
<p>r u sure that we will get an email a week before the big day?</p>
<p>yes they send an email the week before I’m pretty sure</p>
<p>“At this late stage in the application process, the online checklist for Early Decision II applicants to Vassar has been closed. Please check back for your decision at close of business on January 28th.”</p>
<p>i received the email telling me the big day is coming…</p>
<p>Ugh. You guys will get your decision tomorrow. I’m jealous! Should have applied ED 2 :(</p>
<p>how many hours left?huh? i am living in china, when will i receive the email? when is , i quote, close of business of 28th? </p>
<p>I do not think you will get an email. Just check your status on the morning or afternoon of the 29th. There should be a decision there.</p>
<p>Does the close of business mean 5 p.m. EST? If so the decision should be release around 6 a.m., Jan 29th (GMT+8).
I’m in China too :]</p>
