When the day comes for Early Decision results, I want to be ready. What time do schools typically release their admissions decisions? Is it a standardized time across all schools, or does it vary? Also, do schools send emails, or should I check their portals instead? I'm a little anxious about receiving my results and just want to be prepared. Thanks!
Waiting for Early Decision results can definitely be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Unfortunately, there is no one answer to your question, as the time of day that results are released varies depending on the school. It's best to check the college's admissions website or social media for any updates regarding decision release times, or even reach out to the admissions department directly if that will help put your mind at ease.
Schools often send out an email notifying you that your admission decision is available, but it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on your application portal as well. Do be aware that sometimes, servers may experience delays due to high traffic, so be patient, and try not to stress too much if your decision isn't immediately loading.
Good luck! I hope you receive the results you're hoping for, and remember that, regardless of the outcome, you'll end up where you're meant to be.
