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

Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at www.villanova.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Villanova admissions.
Villanova runs four plans and gives each one an outside notification date. Decisions post in the late afternoon rather than first thing in the morning.
