Question About Hearing Back from Colleges

Hi fellow applicants! I submitted my college applications a while ago, and I was just wondering when I should expect to hear back from colleges?

Hi there! The timeline for receiving decisions from colleges varies depending on the type of application you submitted (Early Decision, Early Action, or Regular Decision) and the specific schools you applied to. However, here's a general overview of when you can expect to hear back:

1. Early Decision (ED) and Early Action (EA): Applicants who apply through ED or EA typically receive their decisions in mid-December, though some schools may release decisions earlier or later. It's essential to check each school's website for their specific decision release dates.

2. Regular Decision (RD): For applicants who applied through Regular Decision, decisions are typically released between late March and early April. Again, this can vary based on the school, so it's a good idea to consult each institution's website for exact dates.

To stay informed about decision release dates, I recommend following your colleges' admissions office social media accounts or checking their websites regularly. Additionally, you can set up an email alert or a phone notification when updates are available on your applicant portal to ensure you don't miss any important information. Best of luck, and I hope you receive great news from your schools!
