Hello! So I'm hoping to apply early to Stanford University. I've gotten a bit confused about the dates though, could anyone clear up when the early application deadline is, please?
Sure, I can help with this.
For Stanford University, the application deadline for Early Action falls on November 1. You'll need to get in all parts of the application including transcripts, test scores if you're submitting them, essays, and letters of recommendation by this date.
It's ideal to start well before that deadline, in case there are any hitches along the way. Plus, you'll want to leave plenty of time to fine-tune your essays and make sure you fully represent your strengths and experiences within your application.
Please remember, Stanford's Early Action is restrictive, so you should check their specific policy before applying early to other schools.
Once you submit your application, you'll usually hear back with a decision in mid-December. However, the exact date may vary each application cycle, so you should check Stanford's admissions website or your admissions portal frequently to stay up-to-date.
Best of luck with your application to Stanford! Let us know if you have any other questions along the way.
