Admissions Notification Dates 2018

Whittier College acceptance received via USPS on Saturday, March 3rd.

My son received his acceptance “with distinction” from Cal State Fullerton via email on Saturday, February 24th.

@suzy100 - A lot of these dates are currently the default dates posted on the schools websites. That will change. William & Mary was earlier than 4/1.

USC released decisions on 3/25 with most being notified by US mail on 3/25. Their website becomes swamped the night decisions are released. My daughter received her acceptance box on 3/25, sent priority mail. A lot of people logged on to USC’s admission portal late on 3/25 and early 3/26 to check decisions but some still had to wait on the mail. The USC thread from last year was crazy busy from 3/24 to 3/27.

Most of Cal Polys decisions are out

@CaliKenMom What is your source for the information regarding Cal Poly’s decisions?

@PigletHome Just wondering where did you learn that CMU is releasing decisions on March 28? In the past two years, they released at the midnight of March 26 (between 3/25 and 3/26).

Duke - [march 30th](Duke Accepts 875 Early Decision Applicants | Duke Today)

Check the thread on here. OOS was last Thursday. In state Friday. They are still trickling out I guess but most got notified.

I’m waiting for 14 liberal arts colleges -
Richmond, Vassar, Grinnell, Trinity, Denison, Franklin&Marshall, Pitzer, Occidental, Skidmore, Wesleyan, Hamilton, Kenyon, Macalester and one biggie Vanderbilt. Any idea about when the decisions are out? 8 only know Hamilton and Vanderbilt.

I’m following Kenyon, Hamilton and Vassar. Kenyon came out on the 17th last year and the 18th before that. Odds are that it will be close to that this year. For the most part their announcement dates tend to be fairly consistent. Vassar came out on the 28th last year and very close to that the year before. Again, they are fairly consistent. There have been no official notifications as to dates yet for those two.

@slaythedogma: My son’s best friend received his acceptance to Wesleyan in early February. He had applied ED, but was deferred. His intended major is Music.

@slaythedogma - My daughter received her admittance to Richmond at least a week before her USC package. That would put last years release around 3/15-3/18.

SLO came out last Thursday and Friday March 1-2

From daughter’s Frankin and Marshall portal: Decision Release Notice: Decisions will be released at 4:30 pm Eastern Time on March 23. Please check your student portal at that time.

@SBMamaBear so he received his acceptance after his ED1 deferral? That makes sense!
Can’t wait!! So many decisions this month.

Carleton College March 22 at 8pm CST.

I heard from someone in the admissions field that Kenyon is targeting 3/16 release date.

Anyone know when Wesleyan releases decisions?

@K8sMom - That’s certainly consistent with prior years.
