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. Mason says November 1 Early Action applicants are notified in mid-December; last cycle's decisions posted December 15.

Official timing straight from the school: George Mason admissions.
Decisions post to the Mason admissions portal rather than arriving by mail, and Regular Decision comes out in a run through late March rather than in one drop.
