Regular Decision
Answered

Hi,

I鈥檓 wondering why I have been admitted to 2 regular decision colleges already (6 acceptances in total so far) ? I thought that I wouldn鈥檛 or not supposed to hear from those schools until at least the end of February-not that I鈥檓 complaining though I鈥檓 still waiting for 6 more to hear from. Is it normal for that to happen bc I鈥檝e been told that it鈥檚 not- it鈥檚 very confusing just when you thought you knew the process something like this happens 馃

?

Is it possible those schools have a rolling admissions policy (first come, first served)?

2 of the colleges were regular decision.

I'm not sure why it happened so fast then. When did you apply?

[馃帳 AUTHOR]@SeanL3 years ago

I finished most of my applications in August and September.

@Jael_S2383 years ago

Most seniors do not apply until October/Novemberish, so you did apply earlier than a majority. Additionally, the fact that you were accepted is a good sign; the colleges were eager to offer you a spot!
