So... I might be overthinking things... but it seems like there's three ways of interpreting the deadline of "having all decisions made on or before feb 17th".this is what you get when you send an email now
Option 1) Accepted students will get calls on Friday Feb 17th, and emails for waitlist/rejections will come Monday Feb 20th.
Explanation: Calls have historically been made on Fridays (except for that one time valentine's day was on friday, the call came wednesday I believe).
Option 2) Accepted Students will get calls on Wednesday Feb 15th so that "Official decisions/Emails for waitlist and rejections" can be released by the "official deadline" of Friday Feb 17thExplanation: If Feb 17th is the official deadline they are now announcing, then calls have to be before that day; historically, calls have been made several days in advance of the official emails
Option 3) Accepted students will get calls on Friday Feb 10 and emails go out Monday feb 13th (or....calls go out Monday feb 13th and emails go out Wednesday Feb 15thExplanation: Again, it's just that calls have historically gone out on Friday's and if the official results/emails are supposed to come out on or before feb 17th, there's only one friday left for calls to go out and let accepted students know "unofficially"
