Check each school's website or admissions portal for specific information about decision release dates and be prepared to receive notifications both in your email and on the admissions portal. It's a good idea to keep track of all the schools you've applied to early and their anticipated decision dates in order to stay organized. Good luck with your college applications, and I hope you receive some positive decisions in December!
