I'm considering applying to Texas Christian University and I'm trying to keep track of all the deadlines. Can someone provide me with info on their application deadline and any important dates I should know about?
Texas Christian University (TCU) provides different application options, each with its own respective deadline.
For the Early Decision program, which is binding, the application deadline is November 1. The Early Decision notification date is December 15, which is when you'll get to know whether you've been accepted, deferred to the Regular Decision pool, or denied.
The Early Action deadline is also November 1, but it's non-binding. If you apply under Early Action, you'll receive your admission decision by January 1. This gives you the advantage of knowing your admission status earlier while still having until May 1 to make your final decision.
Lastly, for Regular Decision, the application deadline is February 1. The notification date for Regular Decision applicants is March 1.
In addition, you should take note of financial aid deadlines. TCU's priority filing date for the CSS Profile and FAFSA is February 15. Submitting these applications by this date will increase your chances of receiving the maximum amount of financial aid for which you're eligible.
Remember that all of these deadlines refer to postmark dates or the date on which the online application was submitted, not the date the application materials were received by TCU.
