Where is everyone? This thread is so quiet! Aren’t ED1 decisions expected next week? Any educated guesses as to which day?

My guess is the 15th, but hoping someone knows more info!

Wondering if anyone knows if they typically send an email a few days before announcing the date of release or do they just email on the day to say check portals?

they send an email the day before decisions are released (in the evening from 4-7 pm est) as a notice

Re your sure? Do they not announce it elsewhere officially?

Yes, I’m sure (I applied last year) and they might also announce on the admissions instagram story and blog

I just called Admissions and they said there will be an email sent out 24 hours before decision release. But they didn’t know when that would be. Sending out positive vibes to all.

Beyond frustrating they cant just give a date!

Ikr. I think they’re sworn to secrecy. So frustrating. Wish they would be more upfront like UGA. Even if they have to move the date they originally set, I would much rather know what is going on than be in the dark.

No email notice today, so no Wednesday release date.

So anxious. Wish we had a date.

Somebody in another thread on CC indicated ED’s for V will be released on Friday. I asked for source but no reply.
