i applied to 3 colleges sometime around mid November. A lot of people in my class are receiving acceptance letters already and i'm just wondering how long it will take for my letter to come? they're rolling admissions and it says at least 2 weeks, but it's been 2 weeks and i'm getting anxious. so maybe if you've been through the college process, can you tell me how long yours took to come?
It all depends on the school, though. Check the school's website and it should have information (or you can even call the admissions office asking when replies to applications go out.)
GOOD LUCK! I know how insane it is applying for college & waiting to hear for that first choice. I just finished my third semester today and I love it! [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]

Are the people in your class who received their acceptance letters rolling admissions as well who applied to the same 3 colleges as you? Some colleges might take longer to respond. For example, I waited for Rutgers, which is rolling admissions, a little while longer because they get a lot of applications that they have to go through. These kinds of applications are evaluated on a first come, first serve basis and a lot of people applied in the summer (I was worried too, that seemed so early) and I was anxious about it but the letter did eventually come around the end of December, if I remember correctly.
