Hello, a bit stressed here. What time do most college decisions usually come out?
The release of college decisions can vary by institution and can depend on the nature of your application (Early Decision, Early Action, Regular Decision). However, there are some general timelines that many colleges follow.
For Early Decision and Early Action applications, decisions often come out in mid-December. If you applied Regular Decision, hold tight until late March to early April, as this is when most colleges tend to release these decisions.
But, again, every school is different and you should definitely check the specific timelines provided by the colleges you have applied to, usually available on their admissions pages. You'll likely receive your decision via email or through the college's admissions portal, so make sure to keep an eye on both.
While it's completely normal to feel anxious during this waiting period, try to find ways to relax and keep your mind occupied. You've done the hard work by sending out your applications; now it's just a matter of waiting.
