I'm currently considering applying to Morgan State University and I'm really interested in its early action option. I feel like it would be great to get an admission decision earlier to reduce some stress. However, I'm not entirely sure when the early action deadline is for Morgan State. Can anyone provide some information about this? Also, I’d love to hear if you think early action is a good path here because I've heard it sometimes shows more interest in the school. Thanks for any help in advance!
Morgan State University's Early Action deadline is November 15. Submitting your application by this date, you can typically expect to receive a decision by mid-January.
Applying early action can certainly be a good choice, especially if Morgan State is one of your top choices. You'd get the advantage of receiving an admission decision earlier, which can indeed reduce some of the stress of the college application process.
In terms of whether applying Early Action demonstrates more interest to a school, that tends to vary from college to college. For some schools, applying Early Action can demonstrate interest, but it's typically a smaller factor than others such as your academic record, personal essays, and extracurricular activities.
As Morgan State offers a non-binding Early Action option, it's not exclusively for students who are 100% committed to attending if accepted, but it does give the admissions committee an indication that you are seriously considering the school.
Before deciding, consider your readiness to submit a strong application by the Early Action deadline. Make sure your academic record, essays, and other components are as solid as they can be. Best of luck with your application process!
