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.

Official timing straight from the school: WashU admissions.
WashU added a non-binding Early Action round this year, and it publishes the exact day each round's decisions go out rather than a vague window. Early Action answers land just before Christmas.
