Anyone know when the EA decisions were released in past years?
I haven’t seen anything official. 3 years ago my oldest was admitted a few days before Christmas.

Waiting for EA here too! My kid applied EA for direct-admit nursing. The application said that nursing finalists would be contacted for an interview but we didn’t hear anything. Anyone heard if they did actually conduct EA nursing interviews?
Just noticed on college kickstarter (a program my son’s college counselor uses) the EA release date is 12/22.
