PhD in Helsinki uni. Dates of admission

[Dol'chika]

Hi everyone!

I have applied for PhD in Helsinki uni starting January 2015 and I'm really nervous about it. Maybe anyone could help me with some information?
On the official site it's stated that they'll announce the results by mid December. I've tried to find out when they announced results last year, but I failed. Probably anyone knows if mid December means the 15th of December and later or could they announce it earlier?

Thanks in advance
