Hey guys, as I anxiously await my college application decisions, I'm wondering when I'll hear back for regular decision. What's the general time frame that colleges release their acceptance decisions?
Hey there! I can definitely understand the anxiety that comes with waiting for college decisions. Typically, colleges release their regular decision acceptance notifications around mid-March to early April. However, this can vary slightly depending on the specific college and its admission timeline.
To get a more accurate idea of when you might hear back from each school you applied to, you can check their admissions websites for their decision release dates, or search for threads on college forums where students share their experiences in previous years. Keep in mind that some schools release decisions in waves, so not every applicant may receive their decision at the same time, and the release dates can vary year to year.
While waiting for your decisions, try to stay patient and focus on other aspects of your life, like school, extracurriculars, or spending time with friends and family. It's an exciting time, and soon enough, you'll start receiving your decisions and be able to make a choice about your future! Best of luck!
