<p>After applying to a school for their early decision application, how long should I expect to wait until I receive a response? The college says December 15th, but is that a universal thing? Would everyone receive a reply that day, or is that the latest?</p>
<p>most colleges update the decisions online to their web portals on or earlier than the announced date.</p>
<p>^It’s usually a week or two weeks before, not everyone gets them at the same time so keep an eye out. If it says by 12/15, then that is the latest you’ll get your decision. Best of luck!</p>
