I've recently decided I want to apply to Boston University, but the deadlines are pretty confusing. Is it still possible to submit a regular decision application at this point?
Boston University's regular decision deadline is typically on January 6th of each year. Unfortunately, if you've passed that date this application cycle, you won't be able to submit a regular decision application.
However, if you're still interested in attending BU, you could consider waiting for the next application cycle to apply early decision or regular decision, depending on your level of interest and other college options. It would be a good time for you to prepare your application, including your essays, and perhaps improve other aspects of your application like your GPA or extracurricular involvement.
Remember that deadlines can vary slightly by year, so always double check the exact dates on the admissions website of the university you're applying to. Good luck with your college application process, whether at BU or elsewhere!
