I'm trying to keep track of all my application deadlines and want to make sure I don't miss Lehigh's regular decision deadline. Could anyone confirm the exact date and possibly any tips for managing multiple applications?
Lehigh University's regular decision deadline is on January 1. As for managing multiple applications, I'd recommend keeping a spreadsheet with all your deadlines. For each school, note down the application deadline, recommendation letter deadlines, financial aid deadlines (if applicable), and any other key dates specific to the school. Use the spreadsheet to plan your application work week by week, so you don't end up doing everything at the last minute.
Also, remember to start working on things that aren't school-specific, like your common app essay, as early as possible. This way, you only need to focus on school-specific supplements as you approach each deadline. A lot of students find it helpful to process applications in batches, working on all the schools with similar deadlines at the same time.
Last but not least, don't forget to give yourself time to review each application carefully before submitting it. It's easy to make mistakes when you're juggling multiple applications at once, and a couple of extra proofreads can save you from a lot of stress later on.
