<p>in0va3,</p>
<p>It looks like you opted into the binding Early Decision II applicant pool. Early Decision II applicants received their decision letters as soon as possible once we received the Early Decision Agreement Form signed by you, your guardian, and your Guidance Counselor. (This typically takes 3 weeks.)</p>
<p>If you submitted your application before having the interview, you ran the risk of having the interview not factor into the admissions decision. MYR’s don’t usually arrive until the month of February, so if you opted into ED II in early January we would not have had access to your MYR.</p>
<p>ED II should not be confused with non-binding Early Notification. EN applicants will receive their decision letters around February 15th. Regular Decision applicants will receive their decision letters in March.</p>

<p>Feel free to contact our office to express your concerns. Also, please realize that the Admissions process is becoming increasingly competitive. We have received a record number of applications this year (increasing steadily over the past 6 years), and the freshman class size isn’t growing much at all. Unfortunately, hundreds upon hundreds of excellent applicants will have to be turned away due to class size restrictions.</p>
