I'm curious about when most colleges announce their decisions for regular admissions. I'm applying to several schools and want to plan my schedule around when I might hear back.
Regular Decision announcements can vary by college, but many schools tend to release their decisions in mid to late March. For example, Ivy League schools typically release their acceptances on "Ivy Day," which generally takes place at the end of March. However, it's essential to note that each university or college might have a different timeline.
Specifically, larger state universities might release decisions on a rolling basis, starting as early as February and continuing through late March or early April. Smaller liberal arts colleges, on the other hand, often have a fixed date in mid to late March when they send out all their decisions.
I strongly recommend that you check the specific websites of the institutions you're applying to. Usually, they'll have information about when they aim to notify students of their decisions. This could help you create a more accurate schedule for yourself. Good luck with your applications!
