Hi, I'm applying to college through the Regular Decision (RD) process, but I'm a little stressed about RD decision dates. When can I expect colleges to release RD decisions? Is there a way to know when each college will release their decisions?
Hello! I can understand the stress and anticipation you're feeling about the Regular Decision (RD) process. Generally, colleges release their RD decisions between mid-March and April 1st. However, the specific dates can differ from college to college.
To find out the RD decision release date for each college you're applying to, I suggest checking their admissions website or contacting their admissions office. You can also look for past RD release dates, as many colleges tend to follow a similar timeline each year, barring any changes in their admissions process. Another helpful resource could be social media, as some colleges announce their release dates on platforms like Twitter or Facebook.
Remember to keep an eye on your email inbox and spam folder around the expected decision date, as colleges usually notify applicants via email to check their portal for the decision. Good luck on your college applications, and I hope you receive positive news from your top-choice schools!
