Class of 2022 Early Decision and Early Action Notification Dates
UPDATE #39 (12/20)
Here's our latest list of early decision and early action dates for the Class of 2022. As many of you know, schools often post results in advance of their "official" notification dates, so we've compiled the most recently updated dates for you here where available, as well as last year's notification dates for reference.
Case Western is set to announce today at 8pm ET (both EDI and EA). Colorado College (EA), Kalamazoo and the University of Michigan are on tap for Wednesday 12/20.
With ED/EA decisions released for virtually all of the schools we track, we'll call this 38th update our final one this season.
Good luck, seniors!
