<p>Anyone knows when CalTech EA decisions are coming out? Last year, it was 12/10.</p>
<p>I don’t know. </p>
<p>But on a similar topic, I went to my Caltech Application Status page, and I clicked on the Upload Materials. There were three options: “EA Defer Update, Research Paper, Supplemental Materials.” I don’t remember whether “EA Defer Update” was always there, so does that mean I’m deferred? </p>
<p>Can everyone else also check to see whether they also have this “EA Defer Update”?</p>
<p>I have it too 
hopefully that doesn’t mean I was deferred haha…
But they got rid of the thing that showed whether or not you have all your forms in, so I assume they must have added it because decisions are coming out soon.
I think 2 years ago EA decisions came out on the 12th and it was the 12th the year before that too, so I think we’ll know within the week. Do we just get an email that’s like “EYYYYYY ACCEPTED” or “Deferred D:” or will we have to log in to some portal to see?</p>
<p>I also have the EA Defer Update, does anybody not have it who is applying? i’m hoping everyone does…</p>
<p>Yeah I have that too…probably a systemwide type of thing.</p>
<p>Same here.</p>
<p>Does anybody know if they give us any early notice of decisions? Email on the day of, status update a few days in advance, etc.?</p>
<p>Last year my son got the email on the 10th telling him the decision was available and how to access it. I don’t know if people knew when it would be beforehand as he wasn’t on CC and I wasn’t paying attention so it was a surprise to him. But they did send an email.</p>
<p>Thank you so much marciemi, good to know what to expect.</p>
<p>I looked back a year ago and don’t see anything here about an announcement beforehand or anything. First thread about decisions is a “They’re up!” on the 10th.</p>
<p>Last year there was an update on the system in the morning on a saturday saying decisions will be available at a specific time. Someone had posted it on CC pointing the update.</p>
<p>The update was setup early on the same day they were posted.</p>
<p>I would not be surprised if it is tomorrow.</p>

<p>I also have that drop down option thingy, I hope we hear back soon. I have an audition tomorrow morning so if it does release tomorrow I won’t be able to open it until noon >.<</p>
<p>Well they’ll release like 3 pm eastern time if they do</p>
<p>@bigpapi I also have the defer update thing. It seems like something everyone would have…</p>
<p>Also, if decisions came out on the 10th last year and the 11th the year before, that’s both on the second Saturday of December, which this year would be tomorrow :o I’m really anxious now.</p>
<p>Doubt it’s about the 2nd Saturday. It’ll most likely be Monday or Tuesday.</p>
<p>The past 3 years it’s been the 2nd saturday…so we can always hope :P</p>
<p>Folks - According to a very reliable source, decisions are most likely (very likely) getting released this weekend.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone</p>
<p>Oh in that case I stand corrected. Keeping my fingers crossed.</p>
<p>Do you mind specifying your source?</p>
<p>yay, some closure! gl to everyone (:</p>
