Any idea when the early decision results typically come out? I'm planning on applying ED and want to plan ahead. Do they usually let you know before December, or is it later?
Typically, early decision results are released in mid-December, usually from around the 10th to the 15th. However, keep in mind that this timeline can vary a bit between different universities, and it's also subject to change from year to year.
It's always a good idea to check the specific college's admissions webpage for the most current and accurate information regarding the anticipated release date for early decision results, as some schools provide this information online. You might also receive a decision date in an email once you apply.
If you find yourself feeling quite nervous about the results, try to breathe and engage in activities that you enjoy or help reduce stress. Keep in mind too that regardless of the decision, the application process in itself is an important growth experience and there are numerous excellent education opportunities available regardless of the outcome. It's a stressful time, but don't forget to take care of yourself and your wellbeing during this waiting period. Good luck - I'll be rooting for you!
