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 January 2027. Kentucky sets its Early Action deadline at December 1 and does not name a release day; applicants have generally had an answer by the middle of January.
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect March 2027. Kentucky's Regular Decision deadline is February 15, and answers have followed through March and into early April rather than on a single day.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at apply.uky.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Kentucky admissions.
Kentucky publishes its two deadlines — December 1 and February 15 — but not a release day for either. The December 1 round is also the one that puts you in front of the scholarship committees and the Lewis Honors College.
