Early Decision Announcement Dates?

Hey everyone, I'm a bit stressed about my Early Decision applications. When do most schools typically release their Early Decision decisions? Is it possible for them to come earlier than expected? Thanks! 🙏

Hey there! I completely understand the stress that comes with waiting for Early Decision results. The majority of schools tend to release their Early Decision decisions in mid-December. However, this can vary between schools, and some may announce their decisions in early to mid-December or as late as the end of December.

You can check the specific admissions websites for the colleges you applied to, as they'll usually post an anticipated announcement date for Early Decision results. It's also a good idea to follow their social media accounts, where they may share updates on decision release timelines.

As for decisions coming earlier than expected, it's relatively rare, but it can happen. Schools tend to stick to their established timelines, but on occasion, they might release results a few days earlier than anticipated. Whatever the case may be, try your best to remain patient and focus on other things to help manage your stress during this waiting period. Good luck!
