Hi all, does anyone know when we can expect RD decisions? Based on last year it could be on the 7th, but maybe that’s wishful thinking…
I was thinking the same, although the portal still says “late March”. I suspect that’s just in case they aren’t ready earlier.

We got an email on Jan 31st that said:
Admissions decisions for Regular Decision applications will be announced in mid-March rather than early March, as we had originally planned. With that announcement, in lieu of the FAFSA information, Dickinson has worked extremely hard to include a very close estimate of your student’s financial aid package based on CSS information.
I was thinking next week maybe sometime between March 13-15?

It’s been a Thursday in the past 2 cycles at least - Thr Mar 10th in 2022 and Thr Mar 9th in 2023. Because of the Leap Year, that pattern would push it pretty early (Thr the 7th as @AlfaBeta72 guessed), but, hey, they had that extra Feb 29th day to work on things, right ? 
I don’t think they gave any advance warning last year; last March my D23 received an email notifying her that the decision was available in the portal a little before 3:30PM Eastern time on the 9th. Hopefully it will be this week as I know from last year’s experience how hard it is to wait! Good luck to all.

Congrats to everyone that got in/had their children get in!
I’m going to be a professor at Dickinson starting in the upcoming Fall, so I’ll also have a “first year” experience of sorts at Dickinson.

Dickinson usually doesn’t release admission data until spring of the following year AFAIK.
