Rejection letters from Ivies sent out first?

I’ve heard that if you’re rejected from an Ivy, you receive the rejection letter earlier than the decision date. So if you’re not entirely rejected, you don’t get a letter until the actual day decisions are released. I know, it sounds ridiculous, but hear me out.

Take my cousin, for example. He applied as a grad student to a couple of Ivies and already received a rejection letter from one of them. Columbia, I think? I was also browsing through one of the 2010 decision date forums here on CC and saw a post from a kid who said that he had already received his rejection letters from Brown and Yale on March 12th.

So I’m just wondering if that’s true or if anyone has any possible insight on this?
