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 II

Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at www.wm.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: William & Mary admissions.
Decisions go to the Application Status Portal rather than the mail — early December for Early Decision I, early February for Early Decision II, and by April 1 for everyone else.
