Then you might end up here at Yale. Ivy Day has not been officially announced yet on Ivy League school websites --but we can look at the info these schools have provided about regular decision notification to get an idea of when it will be! At this point, all of the Ivy League schools have indicated that Ivy Day will be near the end of March or around the beginning of April. While a bit vague, these statements from the Ivies give you a specific time frame for Ivy Day We can also look at the dates and times for past Ivy Days to make an educated guess as to when Ivy Day will be.
Check out the table below to see the dates and times for Ivy Day over the past several years. The reason the date is somewhat later this year is because the Ivy League schools have seen a major jump in applications. For example, last year Harvard received 40, applicants, but this year it received over 57,! That's by far its highest number of applications in a single admissions cycle. Many Ivy League schools have seen similar increases in application numbers.
To give Ivy League schools time to review all these applications, Ivy Day was pushed back by about a week and a half.
Because students are receiving their admissions decisions later, the Ivy League schools also decided to give admitted students two extra days to make their enrollment decisions. Students now have until pm ET on May 3 to accept or decline their spot in the freshman class of each school they're accepted to.
Typically, this deadline is May 1. Ivy Day has finally arrived and you've spent minutes battling through the online traffic to access your admissions decisions. Maybe you got into a few Ivies but were rejected from your top choice. Or maybe you got rejected from all of them. The question is still the same, regardless of your admissions decisions: What do you do next? In this section, we go over the steps to take for different Ivy Day admissions decision scenarios.
You got online and caught a glimpse of the word "Congratulations! You did it! You got accepted to your top-choice school! Once you've spent time congratulating yourself and showing off your acceptance letter to family and friends, it's time to sit down and ask yourself: what now?
First off, if you're having any doubts that this is the school you really want to go to, it's perfectly OK to wait until you've heard back from all other schools you applied to Ivies and non-Ivies alike before you make your final decision. Don't feel pressured to attend this Ivy simply because you got accepted. Think about what you personally hope to gain from your college experience, and then choose the university—Ivy or not!
If this top-choice Ivy really is your overall top-choice school and you know you want to go there no matter what, your next step will be to formally agree to attend this school. Before you do this, though, make sure that you've had the chance to discuss costs for this school with your parents or whoever is helping you pay for college and that you clearly understand your financial aid package.
After you've accepted your invitation to attend the school, you can then get started on declining any acceptances you got from other colleges. You eagerly checked your admissions decision from your top-choice school only to be met with a pang of confusion: you've been offered a place on the waitlist. You don't feel elated but you're not devastated either.
After all, getting waitlisted means you could still get accepted. This limbo stage can be tricky to deal with, but if you really want the opportunity to get accepted to your top choice—and you're willing to wait just a little longer— you'll want to immediately accept the invitation to be put on their waitlist. This will officially keep you in the running for a possible spot in that Ivy League school's newest freshman class. Write a letter to the school letting them know this. You can include details such as what classes you'd like to take and how you can envision yourself being highly successful there.
Ultimately, anything you can do to stress that this Ivy League school is your top choice will reflect positively on you as the admissions committee works its way through the waitlist.
Unfortunately, you'll more than likely not hear back about your waitlist decision until after the decision deadline has passed. As a result, you should put down a deposit for your second-choice school, even if you haven't yet heard from your top-choice school.
This way, if you don't get off the waitlist, you'll still have a spot confirmed at another school you're happy to attend. Worst case scenario, you get accepted to your top-choice school and lose your deposit money.
