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 I
Early Decision I isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. Smith says Early Decision letters go out mid-December; the last two cycles they posted December 12 and December 13.

Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at apply.smith.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Smith admissions.
Smith opens its early rounds at 3 p.m. Eastern — an afternoon release rather than the evening drop most of its peers use.
