As we navigate through the bustling college admissions season, the moment of truth, when early admission decisions are revealed, draws near. So, let's dive into your trusty guide for this year's early decision notification dates!
In a world that's slowly regaining its equilibrium after the pandemic disruptions, the college admissions cycle is starting to resemble the "normal" we once knew. After enduring two years of virtual college tours, many campuses have once again opened their doors to eager visitors. For the students applying during the 2023-24 admissions cycle, the bulk of their high school experience has been in-person classes, a welcome shift from the era of remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nonetheless, certain changes ushered in by the pandemic continue to influence the admissions landscape. Notably, a significant number of schools have decided to uphold test-optional admissions policies. Moreover, students still have the opportunity to share how the pandemic impacted their journey through the optional section of the Common App.
The popularity of Early Decision and Early Action applications remains a consistent trend, serving both applicants and colleges well. These early application rounds help colleges manage their yield rates, which is the percentage of admitted students who eventually enroll. Consequently, colleges are becoming increasingly inventive with their admissions decisions, particularly in light of the recent decline in college enrollment. Preliminary data from the Common Application suggests that colleges can expect a surge in applications for the 2023-24 college admissions cycle.
Wondering when Early Action decisions will grace your inbox? Typically, colleges inform Early Decision and Early Action applicants about their admission status around December 15. This timeline introduces a sense of urgency, as students who may face rejection from their Early Decision college have just about two weeks to send out other applications.
Here at Higher & Hire, we're dedicated to easing the stress that often accompanies the college admissions journey. We're committed to providing you with an exhaustive and up-to-date list of early decision release dates each year.
