I'm planning my application timeline and I'm a bit anxious about when I'll hear back. Can anyone tell me when regular decision results typically come out for most colleges?
Most colleges release their regular decision results between mid-March and early April. This can greatly depend on the college or university you are applying to, as each institution has their own specific timeline. For example, the Ivy League schools typically release their decisions on the same day in late March, usually referred to as "Ivy Day."
It would help if you had a list of the colleges you're applying to. Then, you can look up each school's specific notification date on their admissions website or ask in their admissions office if the date isn't listed. This will give you a more definitive timeline for each specific college.
It's also good to keep in mind that the dates can slightly change from year to year, but they generally fall within those same months. It's definitely an anxious time waiting for results, but knowing the timeline should hopefully alleviate some of your stress. Keep an eye on your email and the school's portal for any updates!
