Thinking about applying to AMDA, and I'm curious about their regular decision deadline. Does anyone know when exactly it is, and if there's any advantage or disadvantage to submitting my application as close to the deadline as possible?
The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) operates on a rolling admissions basis, meaning they review applications as they come in and continue to accept students until all slots for the incoming class are filled. This means there isn't a strict Regular Decision deadline like there would be at many other colleges.
However, it's important to be aware that due to this rolling admission, there can be an advantage to applying earlier rather than later. Once the admission spots are filled, no more students can be accepted, regardless of the strength of their application. Thus, the earlier you apply, the higher the chances you have of securing a spot.
That said, you shouldn't rush your application at the expense of its quality. It's better to take your time to present your best self in your application, rather than rushing to get it in as early as possible.
But, also keep in mind financial aid deadlines, as some financial awards are given on a first-come-first-served basis. It's always a good idea to check with the school's admission office for exact timelines and any additional advice regarding their application process.
