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 Decision
Early Decision isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. Cornell says admission decisions for Early Decision applicants are available in mid-December, and that is where recent releases have landed.
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect March 2027. Cornell releases on Ivy Day, a Thursday in the last week of March every recent cycle — March 26 in 2026, March 27 in 2025, March 28 in 2024.

Official timing straight from the school: Cornell admissions.
Cornell's own page says late March for Regular Decision, which in practice means Ivy Day — the evening all eight Ivies release together.
