Hey guys, I'm planning on applying Early Decision for my dream school, and I'm a bit stressed about the whole process. Does anyone know the average timeline for getting an ED decision? When should I expect to hear back once I've submitted my application? Thank you!
Hello! It's completely normal to feel anxious about the Early Decision timeline. Generally, if you submit your application for Early Decision, you can expect to receive a decision by mid-December. It's important to keep an eye on the specific deadlines of your specific schools, as they may have a unique schedule.
Most colleges are good about communicating their decision dates on their admissions websites, so make sure to check there for the most accurate information. If you submit by the usual Early Decision deadline in November, around one month's wait is typical. Wishing you the best of luck with your application!
