Most Early Decision dates are November 1st, 5th, and 15th and you’ll hear back in 30 days. If you applied Early Action, you'll be hearing back around Christmas. Don't commit yet! Unlike Early Decision which is binding, you don't need to commit to Early Action until May. In the meantime, go to admitted student day events so you can experience an in-depth presentation. Most importantly, be sure to read and gather all of your school responses and information to help you determine which school is best for you.
