Hey guys, I applied Regular Decision to a few colleges, and I've noticed that it varies when they release decisions. Is there a general timeframe for when RD decisions come out?
Hello! You're right that the release of Regular Decision (RD) decisions can vary between colleges. However, there is a general timeframe when most colleges tend to release their decisions. Typically, RD decisions are released in mid-March to early April, with some colleges occasionally sending them out in late March.
Each college has its own schedule, so it's essential to regularly check their websites or portals for updates on specific decision dates. Some colleges have set decision dates or follow the tradition of announcing decisions on "Ivy Day" (when all eight Ivy League schools release their decisions), which usually occurs around the last week of March.
It's also a good idea to keep an eye on your email, as colleges will often inform you when decisions are available through their application portals, or sometimes they might directly send the decision via email as well.
Best of luck with your college applications, and I hope you receive great news from the schools you applied to!
