As stated above, it all depends on the school you are applying to. When I applied to community college, I was accepted that day, given a date for placement tests, and registered later that day.
One the other hand, when I applied to ODU, they had a deadline for “early acceptance” (this was 9 months before I would start there). Even though I made sure I had everything in well before the deadline for that, it still took 3 months for them to review my application, and mail my acceptance letter. If I had sent in my application after the date, it would have taken much longer to hear anything, as they had to process all of the pre-deadline people before they would think about doing the others.
The best bet is to check with the registrar. Every school has their internal schedule for when to deal with applications. Do this early! Records & applications can get lost (either in the mail or on someone’s desk), so knowing about it ASAP can be critical in getting through in a timely manner.
Good luck!
