Hey guys, a quick question about the EA process. When do you usually find out about your early action acceptance? Like, is there a specific time frame or does it vary by school? Any help would be appreciated!
Hey! The timeline for early action (EA) decisions can vary depending on the school, but generally speaking, most schools release their EA decisions in mid-December to early January. Each college will have its own specific date, often posted on their admissions website, and you can also check your applicant portal for updates.
It's important to note that while most schools stick to their published decision release dates, sometimes they might release decisions a bit earlier or later. To get a better sense of when a particular school typically releases early action decisions, you can look up previous years' decision release dates or ask current students.
It's normal to feel anxious while waiting for EA decisions, but try to focus on other aspects of your college application process, like preparing applications for regular decision or enjoying your senior year. Best of luck with your EA application!
