<p>I'm an international applicant, and I wonder if decisions will be sent on exactly that date. Will it come earlier in some sort of "likely letter"??</p>
<p>They should be sent via email at exactly Thursday December 15th at 5:00 eastern time in the USA. Find out how many hours you are ahead or behind New York time, and that will be when the email comes in.</p>
<p>Note: It usually takes several hours for all emails to be sent, so your email will almost certainly show up at least two hours after 5:00 est. Emails are NOT sent in the order that they are accepted and rejected :).</p>
<p>That’s very helpful, many thanks :)</p>
