Last year ED1 decisions were released just before 4pm eastern time. Does anyone know times for prior years?
I have had prior experience with 3 of these years and the decisions were released just prior to 4:00…most likely in order to give the admissions department time to evacuate before the angry phone calls start pouring in.
I’m so nervous. I’m guessing it’s either this Saturday Monday or Tuesday. Banking on Monday though. Good luck everyone!!!
@waitingdad are any of those years unknown on the chart I made? Have anymore notification dates?
Your chart appears pretty accurate…I would put my money on Tuesday just because I don’t think Admissions is in any rush…if it goes past then it’s probably because there were more ED applicants than expected.
Tuesday does seem like the highest probability as the 15th is the most popular date. It hasn’t ever been the 14th, so maintaining Monday for a third straight year is not likely. I guess we can hope for a return to the 12th!
@LehighAdmissions on twitter retweeted a post from one of their reps: https://twitter.com/luadmissionjess/status/673884610955202560 This was posted on December 7th, captioned “Early Decision committee day 1”
Also, they tweeted on December 8th, in response to a user who asked when the decisions will be posted “We’ll let you know when decisions are posted on the Portal! It will be mid to late December. Thanks!”
I don’t know how many days this committee usually meets, but it’s been (as of December 11th) 4 days since the first committee meeting, so maybe early/mid next week?
They all looked stressed out!
Everyone who applied ED1 should have gotten or will soon receive and email from Lehigh Undergraduate Admissions… Decisions posted next week!
I think the only purpose of this email was to cause even more stress and anxiety among the ED1 applicants. They already advised everyone decisions would be made mid-December. My odds on favorite time remains Tuesday @ 3:55 P.M.
@WaitingDad haha, I’m hoping for a Saturday 12th @ 3:55 surprise! (They have been released on Saturday the 12th before). But Tuesday is fine. Anything after that will have me very stressed.
that user was me (:
2011- they did not release online: http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/16/michigan-and-lehigh/
