I'm interested in applying to the University of Chicago and want to make sure I don't miss any deadlines. Can someone confirm when the application is due and if there are any important dates for early action/decision?
The University of Chicago operates on a quarter system and offers both Early Action and Early Decision application plans, as well as a Regular Decision plan.
Here are the key application deadlines you need to keep in mind:
1. Early Action (non-binding): Applications are due November 1.
2. Early Decision I (binding): Applications are also due November 1.
3. Early Decision II (binding): Applications are due January 6.
4. Regular Decision: Applications are due January 6.
Admissions decisions for Early Action and Early Decision I are typically released in mid-December, while those for Early Decision II and Regular Decision are typically released in mid-March.
Remember, the application includes a variety of required elements beyond just the form itself, such as letters of recommendation, a high school transcript, essays, and more. So, you'll likely need to start gathering these materials well ahead of the actual application deadline.
