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.

Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at my.tcu.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: TCU admissions.
Early Decision and Early Action share a November 1 deadline and the same January 1 notification promise — the binding commitment is the only difference. The two later rounds both close February 1.
