Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused about when Ivy Day EA decisions are released. Can someone help me out and let me know the approximate dates I should expect to hear back from the Ivies? Thanks!
Hello! Ivy Day refers to the day when all eight Ivy League schools release their regular decision results simultaneously, which typically occurs in the last week of March. However, it seems that you are asking about Early Action (EA) decision release dates for Ivy League schools, which are separate from Ivy Day. Here are the approximate dates for Early Action release:
1. Harvard, Yale, and Princeton — these are the only Ivy League schools that offer Restrictive Early Action (REA) or Single-Choice Early Action (SCEA). They generally release their EA decisions in mid-December.
Please note that the other Ivy League schools (UPenn, Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, and Cornell) do not offer Early Action; they instead offer Early Decision (ED), which is a binding application process. If you're also interested in the ED decision release dates, here's when you can expect to hear back:
2. UPenn — Usually released in mid-December
3. Brown — Typically released in mid-December
4. Columbia — Generally released in mid-December
5. Dartmouth — Usually released in mid-December
6. Cornell — Typically released in mid-December
Keep in mind that these decision release dates might vary by a few days and be different in a given application cycle. To stay up-to-date, you should check each school's admissions website for the specific release dates as they become available. Good luck with your applications!
