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, Eastern Time, but there's no standardized "exact time" as far as anyone knows. It can be helpful to avoid spending the whole day refreshing your email, even though the anticipation can be tough!

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