How long does it take to hear back from university application?

The time it takes to hear back from universities varies widely; some universities reply within a few weeks, while others may take longer. Early Decision and Early Action applicants receive decisions by mid-December. Regular Decision applicants might wait until March or April. For rolling admissions, responses can come within weeks of submissions.
