Let's Compile Decision Dates

Applying to College

<p>All of the individual college boards are being flooded with questions about when and how decisions are released, so I thought it would be a good idea to list as many as we can in one place. </p>

<p>Please note the college, the date the decision will be released, the method of informing applicants (email, website, snail mail), the time the decisions are sent by email or posted online, and any other relevant info. Also, please be sure the information you post is correct!</p>

<p>I'll start...</p>

Date: "late March" with a target date of March 22
Method: snail mail for all applicants and email for some international applicants
