Colleges in the United States of America generally publish the regular admission decision between March and April. Undergraduate candidates who will be joining in the Fall semester are required to make a decision and accept their offers of admission by May.
Last year, most colleges in the USA extended their admission dates because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision dates were also delayed due to this. Many Colleges and even Ivy league Schools had to release the regular admission decision after April 6, 2021. In comparison, Schools in the USA were able to follow a normal admission schedule and publish their decisions by March 2022.
Students should keep track of the regular decision deadlines of Major Colleges in the USA as it will help them to plan the next steps in the admission process such as applying for Financial Aid and/or housing.
