Do college decisions come on weekends?

Hey all! Just wondering if colleges release decisions on weekends? My anticipation is killing me, and I've been refreshing my email and portals constantly. Do you know if it's more likely for admissions decisions to come out on weekdays?

Hi there! I can understand the anticipation you're feeling during this time. The answer to your question is that it depends on the school. Some colleges do release admissions decisions on weekends, while others stick to weekdays. However, it's more common for decisions to be released on weekdays during regular business hours.

That being said, it's important to note that colleges may update their portals at different times than when they send out email notifications. So even if decisions are released during the weekend, you may not receive an email until a weekday. Ultimately, the best way to stay informed of decision release dates is to check the college's admissions website or social media pages, as they often post updates about decision releases.

While it's natural to feel anxious, try to find activities to help you relax and pass the time. Over-checking your email or portal may cause unnecessary stress. Good luck with your college decisions, and remember that everything will work itself out in the end!
