<p>Here is the e-mail I got when I asked admissions the question:</p>
<p>How long it takes to receive a decision can vary a great deal from student to student. We’re aiming to have all decisions out by early March. A few highly qualified applicants may receive an early decision.</p>
<p>Decisions are made at different times, and a variety of things can impact when an individual decision is made. So, if you hear that someone you know has received his or her decision, you should not automatically assume that the fact that your son hasn’t heard is a bad thing. Some students who are admitted to the fall semester do not learn of their decision until near the end of the decision process.</p>
