Hey y'all! I'm getting my applications ready for next year and I've been hearing a lot about 'Ivy Day'. I know it's the day ivy league schools release their decisions, but when exactly does it take place? Plus, what time do they usually release the decisions? Any kind of specifics would be awesome!
Hello! Yes, you're correct! "Ivy Day" is indeed the day when all eight institutions of the Ivy League (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania) release their regular decision acceptances.
Typically, Ivy Day falls on the last Thursday or Friday of March each year. However, the specific date can vary, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on each school's admissions website or official communications for year-by-year updates as the date approaches.
Regarding the specific time, these schools typically release their decisions at around 5:00 PM or 7:00 PM Eastern Time. Again, this can vary slightly from year to year or between the schools, but this is generally the timeframe you can expect.
Best of luck with your applications to the Ivies!
