Regular Decision Notification Dates: Class of 2027

Regular decision notification dates are ALMOST here! For those anxiously awaiting these results, winter can feel like the longest season ever. Some of the most popular schools in the country (University of California system, we’re talking to you!) don’t offer any type of early application round, meaning many students around the world anxiously await their college admissions fate until March or even April.

TTA Top Tip: IF one of the UCs is your top-choice school, we hope you already have a solid list of acceptances at some Early Action schools! Application volume university-wide is higher this year than last, which is saying something with a total of 210,840 applications compared to 203,700 in 2021 and 172,099 in 2020!
