Hi all, I'm kinda stressed about the upcoming college admissions. Does anyone know in general when colleges start releasing their decision letters?
Most colleges release their decision letters in the spring, typically in March or April. The specific dates can vary each year, and differ from one college to another. For students who have applied Early Decision or Early Action, decisions often start rolling out in mid-December.
For regular application deadlines, decisions typically come out in late March to April. For Rolling Admissions, which allows you to submit your application at any time during a long window, you can generally expect a response within six to eight weeks from when you apply.
Remember, each college or university may have a slightly different timeline, and you should check the respective admission websites for the most accurate dates. Also, this year, many universities are dealing with a high volume of applicants, which may cause some delays. So get ready, and good luck with your application process!
