When do Early Action Results Come Out?

Hey everyone! I've recently applied to some colleges through Early Action and I'm super anxious about the results. Does anyone know when the early action decisions usually come out? Is there a general timeline for most colleges or does it vary by university?

It's understandable to feel anxious about the results, but don't worry! While there isn't a universal date for all colleges to release Early Action (EA) decisions, most EA results typically come out between mid-December and mid-January. The exact date varies by university, so it's best to check the websites of the colleges you've applied to for their specific timelines.

That being said, some schools may stick closely to their published decision release date, while others may release decisions on a rolling basis or vary from year to year. It's also possible that decisions may come out earlier or later than expected due to any number of factors like an increase in applications or unforeseen circumstances.

To prepare yourself and better manage the anxiety, try marking the expected decision release dates on your calendar and keeping yourself busy in the meantime with schoolwork, extracurricular activities, or hobbies. It's important to remember that no matter the outcome, you've done your best, and there will be other opportunities ahead.

Good luck, and I hope you receive great news from your Early Action colleges soon!
