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.
Restrictive Early Action
Restrictive Early Action isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. Notre Dame says Restrictive Early Action results come in mid-December; last cycle's posted December 16 at 6:42 p.m. Eastern.
