I'm interested in applying to Columbia and need to know when their regular decision deadline is. I'm trying to organize my application timeline and make sure everything is on track.
Columbia University's regular decision application deadline is typically January 1st. This allows you plenty of time throughout the fall semester to complete all the requirements for the application, which may include personal essays, letters of recommendation, and transcripts. To stay organized, I recommend creating a checklist of these requirements and their respective deadlines (like when to ask for rec letters), so nothing falls through the cracks. Keep in mind that getting everything done ahead of the deadline is ideal—you don't want to be rushing to complete your application at the last minute. Good luck with your application process!
