My son just received his acceptance letter from The Citadel. The Citadel is his 2nd Choice and VMI being his first. Does anyone have an idea of when VMI will start sending out acceptance letters for the 2020 applications. The older posts I have seen show middle to late November before acceptance letters are received. I am very proud of him and he is very excited. His 18th birthday is Saturday and he said he will wish for a VMI Acceptance Letter and a 4yr Army ROTC Scholarship but will not cry over getting The Citadel and the scholarship. He says do not look a gift horse in the mouth, it stinks.

Since your post title lists Early Decision I am assuming your DS applied ED. I would say your estimate of late November seams right based on the following copied and pasted from the admissions section of the VMI website:

Early Decision
All documents must be received by Nov. 15. Notifications will be made by December 15. Deposits deadline: Feb. 15.
I suppose you could hear sooner, but it seems most reasonable to expect an answer between 15 Nov and 15 Dec.

I'm a bit biased with a DS at VMI, but The Citadel is a great option too if it goes that way. Good luck to your DS and congratulations to him on seeking challenging paths.
 
They typically send out letters the first week of December. I would also recommend an admissions interview and talking with the VMI Professor of Military Science, even by telephone if you can't make an in-person visit.
Good Luck!
