Hi there, currently a junior plugging away at my applications. I hear the Ivy League schools like Yale, Harvard, and Princeton release their decisions around the same time. Could someone confirm when this typically is? Also, will this affect early applications, or is this date for the regular decision applicants? Thanks!
Hello! Yes, Ivy League schools do traditionally release their decisions at the same time. Typically, decisions for Early Action or Early Decision applicants are announced around mid-December. The exact dates can vary each year, so it's always a good idea to verify this information on each school's respective website.
For those who apply under the Regular Decision deadline, the Ivy League schools tend to release their admissions decisions around the end of March. This is traditionally called "Ivy Day," and all Ivy League schools release their decisions on this day. The exact date can vary each year, but it's usually the last Thursday or Friday in March.
In both instances, the application portal is usually updated online, and some schools may also send an email to notify you to check your status. If you applied to several Ivy League schools, you should be prepared to receive all of your decisions at once on Ivy Day. Good luck with your applications!
