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.

Thanks for this info!
Thank you! My daughter has been really anxious to find out when it would be! 
Thank you! I pray this is true, this is the one we’re on pins and needles for🙏🏾
My son applied ED2. He did interview in person as well. He is looking at art and computer science, mainly.
ACT 35, WGPA 4.2
We are really excited for St. Olaf. He and I loved the campus and every interaction we have had so far with St. Olaf people.
Anyone have a good idea when ED2 are notified?
D26 seemed to think 12/23, but someone above said they saw 12/22. We’ll see! D27 applied as well.

Oh, sorry, I misread and was giving EA dates.
Waiting for EA notification today!

Has anyone heard anything directly from the St Olaf admissions office beyond that it’ll be in “late December”?
St Olaf decisions are up.
