Hi, folks! I'm hoping to apply to the University of Boulder next year but I'm not sure about their application deadline. Can anyone clarify it for me? Is there an advantage applying before the final deadline? Appreciate any info or tips you can offer.
Sure, I can help with that! For the University of Colorado Boulder, the application opens on August 1. There are two deadlines. Their Early Action deadline is November 15 and the Regular Decision deadline is January 15.
To answer your second question, it depends. Applying by the Early Action deadline does not guarantee your chances of admission, but it does allow you receive a decision earlier, which can help with planning. Additionally, if you're really passionate about attending CU Boulder, applying early can demonstrate your interest to the admissions committee. It's worth noting that their early action is non-binding, meaning you are not obligated to attend if accepted.But remember, the key is to apply when you feel your application is as strong as it can be. If this is after the Early Action deadline, that is absolutely fine and won't negatively impact your application.
Make sure as well that you allocate enough time to work on and perfect your application and essays. The quality of your application can significantly impact your chances of admission, perhaps even more than when you apply. Hope this helps and best of luck!
