does anyone know when regular decisions come out?

@brookelr last year it was on the 25th March (Wednesday) at 17:00. And the decisions went up on the portal before e-mails were sent so check your portal first.

thanks !!

I’m so anxious to hear back!! Good luck to everyone!

So anxious for Vassar to come out already!!! my top choice by far, but seemingly the one that releases the least amount of information :frowning:

Oh my gosh, I know right @elizabethcount ! I have heard lots from the other schools I’m applying to but I desperately want to hear back from Vassar ugh

@admitmemaybe same!! But as of right now, we can only guess what time it’s going to be. The wait is killing me :’(

Yes, you can:) I chose my roommate. You can select a roommate on the residency portal.

Any predictions for when Vassar is going to release RD decisions?

Hopefully soon. They did say they’d email us about a week before decisions are released though with info on how to access the decisions. So I’m guessing more than a week away still :frowning:

@admitmemaybe Aww darn, was hoping we’d hear back this Friday.

Has anyone called the admissions office?

@admitmemaybe I wouldn’t rule it out entirely. Wesleyan comes back Friday, so I figure that Vassar very well could too (just given the fact that they’re in a similar tier. Maybe I’m reading too much into it). I know that ED II got an email approx 2 days before the actual decision release, so if that little “prepare yourselves” email doesn’t manifest itself either tomorrow/Wednesday, then it will definitely be next week.

Wesleyan and Hamilton are Friday. Williams is this Wednesday, Swarthmore Thursday. Bowdoin and Middlebury (and many other LAC’s) have already notified. Vassar is starting to look like an outlier if it doesn’t by this weekend. Haverford is still unknown but otherwise most dates have been announced.
