when does georgetown rd come out

Short answer:
Georgetown regular decision (RD) decisions are officially listed as coming out by April 1 , but in recent years they’ve often been released a few days earlier in the last week of March.

Quick Scoop: When does Georgetown RD come out?

  • Georgetown’s official line is that regular decision results are released by April 1 each year.
  • That “by April 1” wording means they reserve the right to post any time up to that date, including a bit earlier.
  • On parent and applicant forums, people report that in the last couple of cycles, Georgetown sent emails with the exact release day and time , often a few days before April 1.
  • One Facebook discussion notes that it was posted as “by April 1,” but an email then announced decisions going out around 6 p.m. Eastern the day they released.
  • A recent Q&A answer (Dec 2024) also states that Georgetown RD results “typically” come out by April 1, with occasional slight variation a few days earlier or later.
  • A 2026 Reddit thread shows applicants still expecting a window from the week of March 25 through April 1 , with some guessing it may drop shortly before Ivy Day based on past patterns.

So, if you’re watching the portal this year, the practical expectation is:

  1. Official window: By April 1.
  1. Realistic timing: Sometime in the last week of March , potentially early evening Eastern, with an email alert beforehand.

How to stay on top of it

  • Keep checking:
    • Your email (including spam/promotions) for a “decision release” announcement.
* The **application portal** , where the deadline is listed as “by April 1” and the status flips once decisions are out.
  • Don’t over‑interpret exact past days; Georgetown has some consistency, but the specific date can shift slightly year to year.

TL;DR:
When does Georgetown RD come out?
Officially: by April 1.
In practice lately: often a few days earlier in the last week of March, with an email announcing the exact time.
