Anyone have any idea about what the key deadlines are for applying to University of Alabama? I'm trying to get my ducks in a row and I don't want to miss any of them. Is the timeline different for some of the programs like Engineering or Business? Cheers for the help!
The University of Alabama does have some important deadlines to keep in mind for all students, regardless of program:
- The Priority Scholarship deadline is December 5, by which you would get first consideration for automatic merit-based scholarships. This is also the priority deadline for admission. It's important to remember that it's not the final deadline, but can boost your chances both of admission and receiving competitive scholarships.
After the priority deadline, all applications are considered on a rolling basis.
Now for program-specific deadlines:
- The Business school, "Culverhouse School of Business," does not have a different application deadline.
- The College of Engineering also does not have separate deadlines. However, if you plan to apply for departmental scholarships within the College of Engineering, it would be wise to get your application in before the December 15 Priority Scholarship deadline.
Remember, it's always a good idea to apply earlier rather than later to ensure that you have enough time to complete everything required, including financial aid forms, letters of recommendation, essays, etc. As always when it comes to college applications, the sooner you can get everything submitted, the better!
