Early Admission Offers (Fall 2024)

Some of us are currently receiving emails about getting into OMSCS. (Congrats to all who got in, by the way! Hope to see some of you around)

I am just curious, in particular because they said they would not start announcing until 3/25. Quoting their previous email:

The Office of Graduate Education will start releasing “Acceptance” and “Deny” letters during the week of March 25.

How was it for previous semesters (Spring 2024, Fall 2023, etc.)? Did the announcements also start early?

The realist / pessimist in me just want to be absolutely certain that this is 100% real :).
