Regular decision notification dates for 2024 colleges?

I'm anxiously waiting for college decisions. Does anyone have a list or know when most schools release regular decision results for 2024 applicants?

While different colleges might have slight variations in their notification dates, most of them tend to send out their regular decision notifications in March. Here are a few of the well-known colleges and their typical release periods:

- Ivy League schools (including Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Columbia) usually release their decisions on Ivy Day, which generally falls on the last Thursday of March.

- Stanford University: Typically around April 1st

- University of Chicago: Late March

- MIT: March 14th (Pi Day)

- University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: Late March

- University of Southern California: Late March

- Small liberal arts colleges (Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Haverford, etc.): Late March

Please take note, these are typical timelines based on past trends. Sometimes exceptions can occur due to unseen circumstances. I strongly recommend visiting each school's admissions website for the most accurate and current information. They typically provide a narrow window, if not the exact dates, when you can expect to hear back. For schools that don't give a precise date on their website, they'll likely inform you of the date a few weeks in advance, via email or through your applicant portal.

It's an anxious period of time, I understand, but try to stay patient and optimistic. All the best for your applications!
