Hey there, I've decided to go the Early Decision route with a few colleges, it's rather nerve-racking, to be honest. Can anyone enlighten me as to when most colleges typically make their early decision calls? Anything that could help ease my anxious mind would be great, thanks!
Hello! I understand that waiting for college decisions can be a tense time, so it's good to know what to expect in terms of the timeline. Generally, for students who apply early decision (ED), colleges typically release their decisions in mid-December.
Do note that the exact date can vary from school to school. Some colleges also have a clearly mentioned date on their admissions webpage that they stick to when releasing their early decisions, while others may not be as explicit about their timeline.
To get the most accurate information, it would be best to check the specific admission timeline for each of the colleges you applied to on their official websites.
However, be prepared that there might be delays given the large number of applications many colleges receive. However, rest assured that colleges do their best to stick to their timelines.
Good luck with your applications!
