<p>Several of the schools I applied to do not list notification dates…or a latest possible notification date, in order to allow students to make a decision? I have heard April 1st tossed around in several places, but I have not been able to confirm and I am worried that I will come off impatient if I email the school about it. (It’s true, but I don’t want to come off that way if I can prevent it.)</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
<p>April 15 is the usual date for student decisions, so most programs try to notify at least a week before then.</p>
<p>However, some students will not get notified before the 15th, because some admitted students will turn down offers, and then other students will be contacted with offers. Sometimes this takes a while, since sometimes some accepted students drag their feet about accepting.</p>
<p>Most of the schools I’ve applied to will be posting/e-mailing admissions decisions by March 15, although a couple are April 1 and one is “between March 23 and April 1,” so there’s a pretty big variation.</p>
<p>I knew March 15th was in my head for a reason!!! I hope to hear by then… I’m getting super impatient!!!</p>
<p>In my field (psych), the universal date is 4/1 (4/15 for student responses), but it may differ by field.</p>
