When does Swarthmore usually release their regular decision acceptance notifications? I'm trying to plan out my spring schedule and want to know when to expect a response from them.
Swarthmore typically sends out their regular decision (RD) notifications in late March, although the exact date can vary from year to year. After you have submitted your application, it is processed and reviewed, which takes a few months. Once all applications have been evaluated, decisions are then released all at once, rather than on a rolling basis.
It's a good idea to keep an eye on the application portal and your email for any updates. That's where Swarthmore will likely first notify you about the decision. However, please note that these dates can shift slightly each year. If you have other plans like travels or deciding on exams, I would keep this late March timeframe in mind so it doesn't conflict with hearing news about your college admission decision.
Also, remember that when you do receive your decision, take the time to fully consider your options. There might be financial aid packages, housing, enrollment deadlines, and other factors to think about before making your final choice. Wishing you the best of luck!
