Trying to figure out how much time I have before the regular decision cycle officially ends. Does anyone know when the last notifications typically go out? I'm getting nervous the closer we get to the end of the school year!
For most colleges, regular decision applications are typically due in early January, with some extending into February. Admissions decisions for the regular decision cycle are typically released in late March or early April, although the exact date can vary from school to school.
It's normal to feel a bit anxious as the end approaches! If you're waiting on a particular school, it might be helpful to check their website or contact their admissions office for the most accurate timeline. Once you have received all of your decisions, most colleges will give you until May 1st, which is the National Reply Date, to make your final decision and commit to a school. Best of luck in the admissions process!
