Hey everyone, feeling pretty anxious here LOL. Just wondering when I can expect to start hearing back from colleges about their decisions. I know it's different for every school but is there a general timeline?
Certainly, anxiety surrounding college decisions is quite normal. Typically, colleges release their decisions depending on the application process you choose. If you applied Early Action (EA) or Early Decision (ED), you can expect to hear back anywhere from mid-December to late January. On the other hand, if you opted for Regular Decision (RD), the decisions are likely to come out anywhere from late March through April.
These timelines can vary based on the specific institutions. It's encouraged to consult colleges' specific websites or reach out to their admissions offices for the most accurate information. If you've applied to schools that implement rolling admissions, they'll typically send out decisions a few weeks after the application is received and processed.
Just remember, this is an exciting time! While the waiting can be tough, each decision is a step toward your future.
