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. Dartmouth tells Early Decision applicants to expect an email in mid-December; last cycle's decisions opened December 15 after 4 p.m. Eastern.

Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at admissions.dartmouth.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Dartmouth admissions.
Dartmouth emails applicants a few days ahead to tell them the exact date and time their decision will open, so watch your inbox before the portal. Regular Decision goes out with the other seven Ivies on Ivy Day.
