Understanding Northwestern Regular Decision Timing

Hi all, I'm curious about the time of day when Northwestern typically releases their regular decision results. Do they usually send them out at a specific time or does it vary? Trying to manage my expectations here!

Northwestern University usually releases its regular decision results in late March. The exact day can vary from year to year but it's typically close to the Ivy Day (when all the Ivy League schools release their decisions).

As for the exact timing, it's important to remember that these notices aren't typically sent all at once. Instead, they usually roll out to students throughout the day. This often starts in the afternoon and continues through early evening, Eastern Time, but there's no standardized "exact time." It can be helpful to avoid spending the whole day refreshing your email, even though the anticipation can be tough! Once decisions are made available, you will typically be able to access yours through your applicant portal.

In addition, while admissions can be unpredictable, if you want to get a general sense of what the news coming your way might be, check out the following admissions calculator: https://www.collegevine.com/admissions-calculator

Remember, every applicant is in the same boat waiting for decisions, so try not to stress too much. Best of luck with your application!
