Hey everyone, I know college decisions can be pretty nerve-racking, so I'm curious if colleges are likely to release their decisions on weekends or if they tend to stick to weekdays? Just trying to mentally prepare myself for the roller coaster of emotions coming up!
Hi there! I understand the anticipation and nervousness surrounding college decisions. To answer your question, college decisions can be released on either weekdays or weekends, depending on the individual college's schedule. Many colleges post tentative decision release dates on their websites, often in the admissions section, so you can have a rough idea when to expect them. Additionally, some colleges will notify applicants ahead of time with the specific date and time that decisions will go live.
That being said, many decisions do tend to be released on weekdays during regular business hours. But keep in mind that there are exceptions, and some colleges release decisions on evenings or weekends to accommodate students in different time zones or to align with their internal timelines. The best way to stay informed is to follow your application portal, email notifications, and check the college's website for any updates on decision dates.
Good luck navigating the decision season, and just try to hang in there while you wait! We're all rooting for you.
