Hereā€™s the historical RD release dates from the last few years:

2024: Friday, March 22nd at 5pm EST
2023: Friday, March 24th, 4pm EST
2022: Thursday, March 24th, 5pm EST
2021: Thursday, March 25th, between 5-5:30pm EST
2020: Tuesday, March 24th, 1:30pm EST (they really struggled with their 2020 due to covid; they sent early snail mail packets to some but not all applicants, lots of confusion and frustration ensued).

Based on the historical data, you can see that most recently they release on the 4th Friday of March (the most common release days have been Thursday (twice), Friday (twice), and once on Tuesday (2020, which was an anomaly due to covid), all between 4-5:30pm EST.

My prediction is that weā€™ll see RDs released Friday, March 28th, between 5-5:30pm EST.

The email did say ā€œdecisions will be posted through your Lehigh Applicant Portal within the next weekā€, and it was sent last Friday, so Iā€™m hoping itā€™ll be this Friday. It will be the earliest in the past years, but only one day before last year.

Today they posted an instagram story about decision day Dos and Donā€™ts, saying ā€œyouā€™ll be getting your decisions this week.ā€ Maybe itā€™s before Friday?

I saw that! Also Lafayette unexpectedly came out today so we will see. Not sure why theyā€™d wait until Friday.

College Navigators is reporting that Lehigh will come out tonight. They have been correct with others that we were not able to find any other info about online. So fingers crossed!

I think it is tonight as well. If it were 3/21 the letter would have just said that.

Exactly! My son had heard nothing from Lafayette before the email to check your portal was sent.
