When do college decisions come out class of 2023
|
April 1st. It’s the day that high-school seniors await each year with equal parts anticipation and dread. News from colleges has been trickling in all month, but by day’s end on Monday, the much-anticipated stream of envelopes and email will have all been opened and dissected around dinner tables throughout the country.

Important decisions lie ahead for the 1.7 million college-bound students who are receiving these notices, fat and thin. Some recipients who are content with their offers of admission – as Corey Parker’s character was in “How I Got Into College,” the trippy 1989 movie, pictured above – will celebrate. Others will cry. Many will spend the next few weeks feverishly cramming in trips to colleges that are now on their shortlists or conducting other last-minute research, so they choose wisely. This year has been particularly brutal on future members of the Class of 2023 with all the headlines about improprieties in the admission process. But one way or another, much of the panic for these prospective students will start to ease within the month. By May 1, most seniors will have made their picks, and even made room for others sitting on waitlists, and a great sense of relief will wash over everyone. Colleges, here they come! In the meantime, here’s a way to show a little love (besides some much-appreciated hugs) to anyone in your life who is just now hearing back from colleges: send them off this fall with the latest edition of “How to Survive Your Freshman Year.” It’s the perfect gift. Published by Hundreds of Heads Books, the book is an indispensable, yet light-hearted, guide that features frank advice from 1,000 current and former students representing more than 200 campuses. Edited by yours truly, a former New York Times reporter, and illustrated by Lisa Rothstein, an award-winning cartoonist whose irrepressible artwork has appeared in the New Yorker, the coming 6th edition has been wholly reimagined and updated to reflect the myriad ways that college life has changed, not always for the better. So, expect all-new content on: – the hidden hazards of free speech on campus – arranging accommodations if you have a disability, plus an inside look at how colleges learned to welcome emotional support animals in the dorms – frank talk from parents of freshmen who did NOT survive their freshman year because of hazing-related incidents – new rules of dating and consent in an age of Title IX and #MeToo – what to do (and not do) if you are arrested on campus. (For the record, we have zero advice for those whose clueless PARENTS are arrested.) – practical advice aimed at helping kids beat the Dining Hall blues, find the best-paying jobs on campus and figure out all the free swag you can get from the library, everything from sleds and shovels to dressy clothes for interviews. Lisa’s witty cartoons and drawings throughout perfectly capture the zeitgeist of the modern college campus. There is even an all-new chapter on “Coping” that addresses the stress students universally report feeling these days, and no wonder. Ingram is distributing the book, which will be released on April 9 online and at all stores near you. But it is available for order here at howIsurvived.com as well as online stores like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-a-Million. Feedback always welcome, as are reviews! – Alison, Editor of “How to Survive Your Freshman Year,” 6th edition. What to focus on each month of your application year to produce high-quality materials ahead of time and boost your odds of getting into your dream schools
Approaching the college application timeline strategically will help your child maximize their odds of getting into their dream school Introduction to the college application timelineThere’s no denying how busy your child’s junior and senior years can get. In addition to being two of their toughest academic years, your child will be tasked with maximizing their standardized test scores, continuing to pursue high-impact extracurricular activities, securing recommendation letters, and working on their college applications by writing essay upon essay. Given their various responsibilities, your child should follow a timeline for what to complete and when. Otherwise, they may have to play catch-up at a later time, which can lead not only to unnecessary stress, but also weaker applications. With all the hard work they’ve put into setting themselves up for successful college admissions, it’s important that your child not fall behind during this critical period. We developed a recommended college application timeline to help ensure that your child completes all their junior- and senior-year to-dos ahead of time and with little anxiety. Rather than include general advice (e.g., “Put aside time for your applications”) or things they have to do as part of their schooling (e.g., “Take your final exams”), our timeline exclusively focuses on when your child should complete various tasks associated with their applications. Our timeline can be applied flexibly to accommodate your child if they decide to take their standardized tests or begin working on their applications sooner or later than we recommend. If your child is an early bird, they can spread out their work further. On the other hand, if your child is running a bit behind, they’ll have to speed up their work. At the end of the day, whether your child begins working on their applications early or late, the key is to always prioritize application quality over speed. In addition, some of the timeline’s bullets may not apply to your child. For instance, if they’re not looking to apply to any University of California (UC) schools, feel free to disregard those bullets. Regardless of the dates we’ve listed below, we recommend you visit each test company (i.e., ACT or the College Board for the SATs) and university website for up-to-date offerings and application deadlines. College application timeline (2022–2023)January–April of your junior year
May of your junior year
When is the absolute last date I can take the ACT or SAT and it still be considered on my application?Schools typically accept standardized test scores from administrations taken up to a month prior their application deadline. For instance, a school with a November 1 early application deadline will accept scores from tests taken through October. However, we strongly recommend that you consult each school’s website for specific details on such dates. COVID-19 Update: Many colleges (including all of the UC schools) have decided to adopt a test-optional policy as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Furthermore, in January 2021, the CollegeBoard announced their decision to eliminate the SAT essay and all SAT subject tests.
