I'm curious about the regular decision timelines for the Class of 2024 in general. Are there any schools announcing earlier results than usual? Would love to compare with my friends and make plans.
Regular decision results generally come out in late March or early April. The exact timing can vary depending on the college, but many schools adhere to the traditional timeline of releasing decisions by April 1. This gives admitted students a full month to make a decision and submit a commitment by the May 1 National Decision Deadline.
However, keep in mind that some schools may release their decisions sooner than others. It's always a good idea to check the specific universities' admissions pages for the most accurate timelines. Some schools have specific dates when results are released, while others have a rolling decision timeline, which means they release decisions continuously as they become available.
If you're curious about comparing timelines with your friends, you may want to create a shared document where everyone can input the universities they applied to and the respective decision release dates. This can help you get a clearer picture of when you might start hearing back from the different schools on your list.
Also, remember that although the waiting period can provoke anxiety, it is important to stay patient. Universities are dealing with a high volume of applications and are putting in a lot of effort to ensure every application gets a fair review.
