When do colleges generally announce regular decision results?

I'm trying to plan and avoid stressing out too much. Can anyone share when most colleges announce their regular decision results?

Most colleges release their regular decision results in late March or early April. However, the exact timing can vary significantly between different schools. Ivy Day, the day when all eight Ivy League schools release their regular decision results, is typically at the end of March. Other highly selective private institutions and large public universities will usually release their decisions around this time as well.

It's good to keep track of the specific colleges you've applied to and check their websites or contact their admissions offices for the most accurate information. Some schools might provide a specific date, while others may give a range, like "by April 1."

Remember that not all schools will send out decisions on the same day, and even within a single school, the notifications may not all be released at once. This is usually done in waves, so don't panic if others hear back before you—each application is thoroughly reviewed and takes its own time. So continue to check your application portals regularly and be patient, it's a stressful time but it will all work out eventually.
