What time do early action decisions typically come out?

Hey everyone! I'm planning to apply early action to a few colleges and I'm super curious about when they typically release decisions. Is there a standard time of day for early action decisions to be released, or does it vary greatly among different schools? Any information would be extremely helpful – thanks so much!

Hello! It's great that you're planning to apply early action to colleges. Although there isn't a specific standard time for early action decisions to be released, most colleges typically release them in the afternoon or evening, usually after the normal school/work hours. This can range from around 3 pm to 7 pm EST.

However, it's important to remember that each college has its own schedule, and some may release decisions earlier or later in the day. It's a good idea to check the college's admissions websites or social media pages to stay updated on their specific decision release timelines.

But don't stress too much about the exact time – just remember to keep an eye on your emails and the admissions portals around the general decision timeframe. Wishing you the best of luck with your early action applications!
