Regular Decision
Dates marked announced come from the college itself, with the announcement linked. Dates marked expected rest on the evidence named right next to the date — that college's own release history or the timeline its admissions office publishes — and the label switches to announced only when the college says so.
Early Action
Early Action isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. UB's Early Action deadline is November 1 and it answers those files first — applicants have typically heard between late December and early January.
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect February 2027. UB's Regular Decision deadline is February 1 and it keeps reading applications as they are completed until capacity is reached.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at ubconnect.buffalo.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Buffalo admissions.
UB does not hold decisions for a release day. Early Action files get a priority answer around the turn of the year, and everything after that is answered as it is completed, until the class fills.
