If they had one definite answer, we would not call…

Decisions will come out when they are done. Calling and asking different people in the office when they think they’ll be done achieves nothing. When schools make official decisions about release dates they share them with applicants.

It does. It proves that they are just either lying to us or eventually saying the truth. For WashU scholarship, I called 4 times before getting a person who eventually told me the exact date of decisions.
Why would you want to attend a school where you think they would lie to you? Really, they are just trying to make their decisions by 4/1!
Nothing nefarious going on.
Imagine that you have a history paper due on 3/15. Every day, your teacher pesters you to see if you might hand it in early. That’d be both weird and annoying.

It is not the same because those unis have precise dates, especially when it comes to the end of the process. Always keeping everything a secret and lying is just non-ethical
Does anyone know the date RD was released last year for reference?
last year it was released on march 19
And the year before was 3/20/20. Based on that decisions should be out on Friday 3/18 or Friday 3/25. Don’t think it will be this Friday.

Calling won’t harm anyone!!

Then why does everyone want someone else to make the call? Is it that they don’t want to be “that person” - the one who wants to be treated specially? Or who has no patience? Or who can’t be bothered to look at the website?
Sure, it’s their job to answer the phone and read what’s on their admissions page. Usually, the day before they release (or that morning), they post someone on IG. Definitely follow them there.
I get it. You really want to know! But it’s not like you’re going to miss it. Wish you all luck.
+1 on that. These are busy people getting through their day. Knowing the date earlier won’t change anything for applicants, so avoiding taking up the admissions office’s time with calls that don’t, in the end, matter to your outcome is just being respectful. Ironically, staying out of their way may help them release their decisions sooner since they won’t need to divert resources to cover phones calls and emails. Patience and empathy is the best course of action.

Anyone have any ideas as to when they’ll release?
call them
But if we have already called it could be good if someone else called…
There’s no point in calling; schools will publicly announce when they’re ready.

Based on the last two years probably this Friday

But that’s just your opinion right? No confirmation yet, could be the following Friday 3/25. Anyone know how many applications they received?
Does anyone know when they typically notify of when the decision date will be?
Really hope they release tmw!

In the past, I believe Colby has announced via instagram on the day of decision.
