I'm planning to apply to Oregon State University and I'm a bit stressed about making sure I meet all the deadlines. Can someone tell me when the admission deadlines are for first-year applicants? Are there different deadlines for regular decision and early action?
Sure thing! Oregon State University does offer different deadlines for regular decision and early action, as well as priority scholarship deadlines.
Here's the breakdown for the 2024-2025 application cycle:
- Early Action Deadline: November 1, 2024
- Priority Scholarship Deadline: February 3, 2025
- Regular Decision Deadline: February 3, 2025
If you apply under the Early Action deadline, you are not committed to attend if admitted. It's a non-binding process. But, this does allow you to hear back from the university earlier, which can be beneficial in planning your college decision.
The Priority Scholarship Deadline is designed to give you the greatest chance at receiving scholarships through Oregon State. It's still possible to receive scholarships if you apply by the Regular Decision deadline, but your options may be more limited.
Remember, all parts of your application should be submitted by these deadlines, not just the application itself. This would include things like your high school transcript, any relevant test scores (if you choose to submit them), your essays, and any letters of recommendation that you might need.
Hope this helps and best of luck with your application!
