Yo guys, I'm just sitting over here refreshing my email every two minutes. Anyone know around when colleges start sending their acceptance letters? I submitted my applications a while back and anxiously waiting to hear back.
Universities have different notification timelines, and it largely depends on whether you applied for Regular Decision, Early Action, or Early Decision. Early Action and Early Decision applicants usually hear back from mid-December to late January. For Regular Decision applicants, most institutions send out decisions between late March and early April. However, dates can slightly vary from year to year and college to college.
Do consider reaching out directly to the admissions offices of the colleges you applied to, as they can provide the most accurate timelines. Also, commonly, universities have a page on their official website or an admissions portal where they share these dates. Just remember, while it's natural to feel anxious, constantly refreshing your email won't make the decisions arrive faster. Best of luck!
