When does Early Decision 2 typically end?

I'm trying to get a sense of when Early Decision 2 decisions are usually finalized and released. Does the timeline vary a lot between schools, or is there a general end date I should be aware of?

3 months ago

Early Decision II (ED II) results are typically released between mid-February and early March. The exact date can vary by institution, but a good ballpark is to expect your decisions roughly six to eight weeks after the application deadline. Most schools with an ED II option have deadlines in early January, hence the mid-February to early March range.

While the majority of schools adhere to this time frame, there can be exceptions. Some schools may also release their decisions in waves rather than on a specific day, so some applicants might hear back sooner or later than others. It's always worthwhile to verify the timeline on a school's admissions website or reach out to the admissions office for the most accurate information.
