Georgetown undergraduate decisions usually come out in late March , with all Regular Decision results released by April 1 , and Early Action decisions in mid-December.

Key dates at a glance

  • Early Action (EA) decisions: Typically released around December 15.
  • Regular Decision (RD) decisions: Traditionally come out in late March , with schools and advising sites consistently citing by April 1 as the target date.
  • This current cycle buzz: Forum posts for this year report decisions being set for a specific evening in the last week of March (e.g., March 27 at 6 p.m. ET) , though the exact day can shift slightly year to year.

How exact is the date?

  • The official line from admissionsā€‘focused sites is that Georgetown aims for late March/early April , with April 1 as the outer bound for RD.
  • In practice, students often see:
    • A ā€œdecisions will be released byā€¦ā€ message, and
    • A sameā€‘day or oneā€‘hourā€‘before email warning that decisions will post that evening, usually around 6 p.m. ET.

Early vs. Regular vs. Other programs

  • Undergraduate Early Action:
    • Nonā€‘binding.
    • Decisions (admit/deny/defer) by midā€‘December.
  • Undergraduate Regular Decision:
    • Results by late March, no later than April 1.
  • Graduate & professional programs (rough guide):
    • Many Georgetown grad programs release decisions 6ā€“10 weeks after the deadline , with most decisions between midā€‘March and late May.
* Georgetown Law JD Regular Decision applicants are told to expect decisions roughly **8ā€“12 weeks after the application is marked complete**.

What to do while you wait

  • Monitor your email and portal
    • Georgetown typically sends an email when decisions are live in the portal, sometimes with a sameā€‘day headsā€‘up.
  • Expect small fluctuations
    • Some cycles have seen decisions come a few days earlier than the publicly mentioned date, or on a nearby Friday evening.
  • If in doubt, call or email admissions
    • Students on forums confirm that a quick call to admissions can get you the most upā€‘toā€‘date ā€œby ___ dateā€ guidance for your specific cycle.

Bottom line: if you applied Regular Decision, be ready for your Georgetown decision in the last days of March , and absolutely no later than April 1 , with Early Action hearing back in midā€‘December.
