When do 2025 college regular decision releases happen?

I'm trying to coordinate some stuff for this year, and I was wondering when most colleges release their regular decision results in 2025. Anyone have a general idea of what dates to expect or resources to check?

Most colleges tend to release their regular decision results around late March to early April for the spring cycle. However, the specific dates vary by institution and may change from year to year.

Typically, Ivy League schools send out their decisions on the same day, a date known as Ivy Day, which generally falls on the last Wednesday or Thursday of March. For 2025, based on past trends, you can likely expect Ivy Day to land around March 24 through March 31.

For other universities, it can range more widely. Some schools, like the University of California (UC) system or the University of Michigan, tend to release their decisions on a rolling basis starting as early as February and continuing into late March.

For the most accurate information, you should visit the admissions website of each college you've applied to. They usually have the most up-to-date information on decision release dates, or you can reach out to the admissions office directly. Sign up for any updates or portals they might offer, as these are usually the platforms they use to release decisions. Lastly, student-run forums can often provide anecdotal information from previous years which can give a good, although not guaranteed, estimate. But, always verify with official sources to ensure accuracy.

And remember, no matter when you hear back, it's a significant accomplishment to apply to college, and you should be proud of the effort you've put in! Good luck!
