Hey, all! This whole college application process is a little bit overwhelming. I'm specifically going the regular decision route and I’ve been wondering, when does the regular decision usually come out? Tips and insider info are much appreciated!
Regular decision results generally start trickling out around mid-March, and most colleges have released their decisions by April 1st. However, the exact timeline can vary depending on the specific college, so it's a good practice to check on each school's admissions website for any specific dates.
One tip is to keep an eye on your email as well as your application portal (if the college has one). This is because some schools may notify students of their admissions decisions via email, while others may update the application portal only. Some schools may do both.
Remember, patience is key in this process! It can be nerve-wracking waiting for decisions, but try not to stress too much. Remember why you chose the schools you did and look forward to the exciting opportunities ahead. Best of luck to you!
