I’ve applied to a few Ivy League schools and am anxiously waiting for regular decision announcements. Does anyone know the general timeframe when the Ivies release their regular decision results? What should I expect?
Ivy League schools typically release regular decision notifications around late March, usually around the last week. Historically, they all have coordinated to release their decisions on the same day, which is informally known as "Ivy Day."
Although the exact date can vary slightly from year to year, for instance, Ivy Day was March 28th in 2024, and March 30th in 2023. Ivy Day in 2025 will likely fall in a similar timeframe, towards the latter end of March.
I should note that while the date will be the same for all Ivy League schools, the time may be different. Make sure to check your applicant portal or the admissions website for each school for the specific time when decisions will be posted.
When decisions are released, you should expect one of three outcomes for each school: acceptance, rejection, or waitlist. Remember that regardless of the outcome, the decision does not define your worth or future success. Best of luck as you await your decisions!
