When do colleges release admission decisions?

Hey all! As the admission season edges closer, I was wondering if anyone knew when most colleges generally release their decisions? Is there a specific time frame or month to expect them? Thanks!

Hi there! The time frame for the release of college admissions decisions can vary depending on the type of application plan you've chosen. However, there are some general patterns for when you can expect to hear back:

1. Early Decision (ED) and Early Action (EA) applicants: These decisions are typically released in mid-December to early January. Some schools with rolling EA deadlines may release decisions as early as late November.

2. Regular Decision (RD) applicants: These decisions usually come out from mid-March through mid-April. A few schools with rolling admissions may release decisions earlier or later in the year, but the majority follow this time frame.

It's important to note that specific release dates can differ from year to year and between colleges. The best way to get accurate information for the colleges you're applying to is by checking their admissions websites for updates or contacting their admissions offices directly if you have any questions.

Don't forget to keep an eye on your email and the college application portals, as most colleges will notify applicants through one or both of these methods. Good luck with your applications!
