Does anyone know when the regular decision applications are due for SCU? I'm trying to make sure all my materials are ready in time. Any tips for meeting the deadline would also be appreciated!
The regular decision deadline for Santa Clara University is January 7th. So, make sure you've got everything ready, from your application to your personal essays, by then.
As for tips to meet the deadline, here are a few:
1. Get organized: Make a detailed list or calendar of all the elements you need to complete your application, such as your forms, essays, and letters of recommendation. Keep track of what you’ve accomplished and what’s still left to do.
2. Plan for procrastination: Build in some buffer time for the unexpected, and aim to complete your application several days before the actual deadline. This provides some leeway for last minute revisions or technical difficulties.
3. Prioritize: Prioritize your tasks based on their significance and the time they can take. For instance, writing your personal essay and arranging your letters of recommendation might need to be done early since they can take some time.
4. Break it down: Divide the work into manageable chunks. Instead of trying to complete the whole application in one go, tackle a part of it each day.
5. Double-check everything: After you've done everything and before submitting, thoroughly check all the parts of your applications one more time to ensure there are no errors or missing pieces. All the best!
