<p>Hey guys! I know all ivies come out around the same time but I dont know if it's March 28th or 29th? And do they just send you an email or how do you check?</p>

<p>I vaguely remember on CommonApp that a person could check a box if they wanted their admission decision emailed to them (on Harvard’s app, anyway).</p>

<p>I would assume for the other Ivies, a person would check online on their account; the college may or may not send an email.
The general date that I’m seeing is March 29th.</p>

<p>Most Ivy League colleges will release decisions on March 28, around 5pm EST. </p>

<p>Harvard will not allow you to check your decision online on the portal. Instead, the college will send you an email with the decision.</p>

<p>^^^And remember the emails come in waves, sometimes as late as 9 or 10 pm so don’t panic if yours does not arrive promptly.</p>

<p>Yep. From the Harvard website:</p>

<p>Emails will be sent to Freshmen applicants after 5pm EST on Thursday, March 28th. Due to the large number of emails being sent it could take a few hours before the email will be delivered to your inbox.</p>

<p>Each year, close to 5% of our emails bounce. If you do not receive the email, you may call the Admissions Office on Friday, March 29th to learn your decision.</p>

<p>Oh jeez. No pressure, thank you!</p>

<p>One more question, I’ve heard rumors that if you’re not accepted you wont even receive an email is that true?</p>

9

<p>^^ No, that’s not true. All students – whether accepted, rejected or deferred – receive an email. If memory serves correctly, decisions are sent out in batches, with rejections sent out first.</p>

<p>My S did not receive his acceptance e-mail until 9:30 p.m. - made for a long evening!</p>
