Does anyone know the regular decision date for SCU? I'm looking forward to hearing back and want to be ready for any notifications. How does the process usually go?
Santa Clara University typically releases its Regular Decision notifications in late March, though the exact date can vary each year. You can normally anticipate a date around March 20th. Based on past years, notifications are sent via email to all applicants.
In terms of what to expect in the process, you will receive an email from SCU Admissions informing you that a decision has been made. After with this email, you can simply log into your SCU application portal to view the decision. There's typically no set time for when the decisions are released, so you might find yourself checking your portal quite frequently on the day of!
In the decision notification, you'll find whether you were accepted, waitlisted, or denied. If accepted or waitlisted, follow-up communications will provide additional information on what steps to take next, such as submitting a deposit by the May 1st deadline (for accepted students), or choosing to remain on the waitlist (for waitlisted students). If your decision is not favorable, don't be too hard on yourself. There are many great institutions where you can pursue your higher education goals. Hang in there, and good luck!
