Why does my college application decision say regular?

I recently checked my application status, and it says regular decision. I'm a bit confused because I applied through another round. Should I be worried, or is this a normal part of the process?

There's no need to panic just yet. This could potentially be an error on the part of the school's admissions system. If you're absolutely sure you didn't apply regular decision, then there's a good chance the system might have made a mistake.

In some cases, systems may default to "regular decision" if they don't have another classification recorded for your application. It could be that they didn't process your early action, early decision, or rolling admission application in that specific category.

I would definitely recommend you contact the admissions office to clarify. Explain your situation clearly and precisely, and most likely, they will check into it for you. It's very important that you do this because if they have classified your application incorrectly, it could affect when you receive your decision.

Keep in mind that contacting the admissions office to clarify information is completely normal and won't reflect badly on your application. It's always a good idea to verify information to ensure it's correct.
