Class of 2028 Early Decision and Early Action Notification Dates
Update #71 (2/6)
Here's our updated list of early decision and early action notification dates for the Class of 2028. 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. Bookmark this page, as we'll be updating it frequently over the next 30 days.
Good luck, seniors!
