When do most colleges release regular decision acceptance?

Hey everyone, I'm stressing out a bit. Around when should I expect to hear back from colleges about my regular decision applications? Is it typically a set month or does it vary a lot between colleges?

Yes, you're right that the release dates for regular decision notifications can be variable, not only between colleges but sometimes from year to year at a given institution. That said, most schools tend to send out their regular decision notifications around mid to late March, although it can sometimes stretch into early April.

If you applied to a very selective institution, you might also be invited to an interview in February or early March, but that is not standard practice for all schools and does not necessarily indicate a positive outcome.

For the most accurate information, you really should consult the websites of the individual institutions to which you applied, or get in touch with their admissions offices directly. Most colleges are transparent about when they will be releasing decisions and will have that information readily available.

Try not to stress too much about the results. This waiting period can be nerve-wracking, but remember that you've done all you can at this point; the decision is out of your hands. Use this time to focus on your current studies, consider your backup school choices just in case, and perhaps plan some relaxation or fun activities to keep your mind off the wait. Best of luck to you!
