When are college decisions typically released?

Hoping somebody might have insight into when colleges typically release their decisions? I know it can vary by school, but there's gotta be a general timeframe, right? Any input would be amazing.

Sure, I can help provide some insight into this! Generally speaking, college decisions are released depending on the type of application plan you have chosen (Early Action, Early Decision, Regular Decision), and the specific colleges you've applied to. Though there can be variations among colleges, here's a typical timeline:

1. Early Action/Early Decision: Decisions are usually released in mid-December. If you've applied Early Decision, you'll receive either an acceptance, a rejection, or a deferral to the Regular Decision pool.

2. Regular Decision: Decisions for Regular Decision applicants are normally released between late March and early April.

3. Rolling Admissions: If the colleges you've applied to offer rolling admissions, decisions can come anytime after completion and submission of your application. This can range from a few weeks to a few months depending on the college.

4. Transfer Decisions: If you're a transfer student, decisions often come out in May or June.

Again, this can vary significantly from one college to another, so it's best to check the specific colleges' websites or contact their admissions offices for the most accurate information. Also, keep an eye on your email or the colleges' portals where they might release decisions. Good luck!
