Released by Christmas. They mailed them to EA applicants on the 22nd in Dec. 06 and Dec. 05.

Depending on how far away from Fairfield you are...you may get the letter before Christmas, maybe after.

Last year I got my acceptance a couple days after Christmas, but a few people on this board got it earlier than I did (I would expect this Saturday for CT residents).

Congratulations Coop and tribe!

We're in Pa...maybe we'll hear tomorrow or Monday. If you don't mind, please post your basic stats AND can you tell us what type of envelope your acceptance came in?

Thanks milton:

Here's my stats:
white male/CT public high school
1310/1960 (750 math, 560 verbal, 650 writing)
30 ACT (24 english, 31 math, 28 reading, 36 science)
~89.6 (out of 100) UW GPA
~92.3 (out of 100) W GPA
Class Rank ~ 18 % (as of 11th grade but closer to 15% now with many of my peers getting senioritis)
Grade have shown an interesting upwards trend since freshman year...
9th grade ~86 UW, ~88 W
10th grade ~88 UW, ~91 W
11th grade ~91 UW, ~96 W
12th grade ~97 UW, ~100.4 W (Quarter 1 grades)
6 AP/UCONN Classes (Biology, Physics, Calculus, Statistics, Discrete Math, Spanish V - so mostly math and science oriented)
-Extracurriculars: Peer leadership program (hold a major position), varsity soccer, varsity track, baseball, community service, etc.

Friend got accepted with lower SAT's (in the mid-high 1800's), but a higher W GPA (~96) and a better class rank obviously (~5 %). He also got a 10,000 dollar scholarship.

The package was a basic college acceptance envelope - big and white, had the fairfield logo in the top left. Inside there was a cardboard folder with two letters and a bunch of other stuff explaining things. Hope that helps.
