I'm anxiously waiting for my application results for the University of California schools. Can someone tell me when they usually release decisions for regular decision applicants? It would help me plan my next steps a bit better.
Generally, University of California schools start releasing their regular decision results mid-March. You'll receive a notification (usually via email) asking you to check your applicant portal for your admission decision. However, keep in mind that different UC campuses might not all release their decisions at once—it could be a staggered process, so be patient even if you hear back from one UC campus but not others. Once you receive your decisions, you'll typically have until May 1st, which is National College Decision Day, to commit to your school of choice. While waiting, it can be useful to revisit the campuses (virtually or otherwise), review financial aid offers, and consider which school aligns best with your future goals. Good luck!
