Do colleges review applications over winter break? If I submitted my application on the 26th, will they have reviewed mine by the 29th? Please answer if you know I’m getting really anxious.
Depends on the school. If they are closed over break, then no. If they aren’t, then maybe. Although I don’t think any school will have looked at your application within 3 days unless they are very small.
There is no school that will review an application that fast. You submitted on a Thursday and want to know if they have reviewed by Sunday? They probably haven’t even set up a file for you yet, never mind actually looked to make sure they have all the required test scores, recommendations, and transcripts. Then it gets assigned to someone to actually read it and maybe gets reviewed more than once depending on the school. My daughter goes to a college with rolling admissions and they say it takes 4-6 weeks to review an application and get a decision.
Agree with @me29034. If you applied rolling, give them a least a month to review it. If you applied RD (EA and ED have passed) then you just have to wait like everyone else.
