i just finished sending off my college apps around the middle/end of december. about how long before i should start to expect acceptance/rejection letters?

Large universities or schools with alot more prestige are going to take longer because they are alot more selective about it. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]

However, there are some schools that won't given an answer until January, February, and even March. It's a long process, applications & responses, but definitely worth it when you get the acceptance letters.
If you check the school's website, they'll usually tell you when they have begun sending out letters to applicants. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
