I applied regular decision to Colgate University, and I'm getting pretty anxious. For those who've been through it, when do decisions usually come out? Need to mentally prepare and plan my next steps.
Colgate University usually releases their Regular Decision notifications around late March. However, I recommend keeping an eye on your email and the school's admissions page since this can vary from year to year.
Additionally, usually after you submit your application, Colgate will provide you with access to the applicant portal where you can verify the completion of your submitted application and check your admissions decision once it's available.
Remember, once you get the acceptance letter, you typically have until May 1st to make your final decision. This gives you about a month to consider financial aid packages, re-visit (or visit!) the campus, and evaluate your other options.
Good luck with the decision and keep in mind that no matter the outcome, what matters is the way you rise to the opportunities and challenges presented to you, not the prestige or name of the school.
