when does ED decisions come out?

<p>They tell you mid-december, but does anyone know exactly one?</p>

<p>Do they e-mail it to you too?</p>

<p>If they come December 15, it would be pretty late to apply to other schools. I mean my school closes in like three days after that for Christmas break. I can't tell my teacher or counselor to send my recommendations over the break....</p>

<p>Is there anyway to get the decision earlier?</p>

<p>Nope. You pretty much have to have at least SOME of your other apps lined up and ready to go - even if you haven't mailed them in with a check or filed them online. With the common app, its not that hard.</p>

<p>I am not concerned about the essay part...I have yet to start my Princeton essays, so I am using less than two weeks. I am sure I can write essays in that time. However, I have been brainstorming ideas for a while.</p>

<p>What I am more concerned about are the teacher reccomendations and secondary school report.</p>

<p>P.S. Today I got this letter from Harvard, and the return address said Byerly Hall....and I was like, ah, that's where Byerly gets his nick from.</p>

<p>Give your teachers several letter recomendations and they can fill both out, have them send the Princeton one in, and ask if they can have the others "on call" to send it. </p>

<p>Not sure how the secondary school report will work, unless you can do the same as teh one above. I'm applying as a half homeschooled/in a local college kind of thing so my teacher recomendations are from the college while the school report is from my parents. </p>

<p>You could also apply to several colleges anyway. If you are accepted into both you just have more options to choose from.</p>
