Where/when to find admission decision?

Hi everyone, I submitted ED1 and I know they say you find out your decision by Dec. 31, but do you think that means on Dec. 31? Also will the decisions be on the applicant portal or come through email? If anyone knows, thanks in advance and good luck to anyone applying.

I applied ED1 as well. I heard something about them letting us know on December 15th. I don’t know if it’s 100% confirmed, and I don’t know if it’s on email or the portal. Good luck to you!

Last year admissions decisions came out on December 15th for ED1. I think there may have been a tweet regarding letters being sent out. Once the letters are sent out some people were able to log into their MyAU account. You can try to make an account at myau.american.edu. You need your AUID number (found on the bottom of emails AU has sent you) and the last four digits of your SSN. You should be able to see you financial/scholarship award letter. It can take time for all the portals to be created so not getting into the account immediately does not mean a rejection. I wish AU would use technology like other schools and notify via email and portal. This workaround trying to backdoor the portal is not fun.
