Hi, I've just submitted my Early Decision application to my top choice school, and I'm getting really anxious about when I'll receive the decision. Can anyone tell me what time of day the decisions tend to come out, so I know when to expect it? Thank you!
Hey there! First of all, congratulations on submitting your Early Decision application to your top choice school! It's normal to feel anxious, but try to breathe and stay positive. As for the decision release time, it can vary quite a bit between colleges and even from year to year. Some schools might release decisions in the afternoon, while others might do so during the evening – I know my child and some of her friends heard back at 7pm. However, many schools will send you an email when your decision is available, so it's good to keep an eye on your inbox. Meanwhile, focus on your other applications and self-care. Best of luck!
