I'm putting together my college applications and want to make sure I don't miss anything. Could someone confirm the regular decision deadline for Stanford? I really want to make sure I hit all my deadlines perfectly.
Certainly, to submit your Regular Decision application to Stanford University, you should aim to have it completed by January 5th. January 5th is the Regular Decision application deadline that Stanford has set. Keep in mind that it's crucial to get all of your components—the application itself, your essays, letters of recommendation, and any other necessary materials—submitted by this date.
Like most schools, Stanford looks for applicants who are diligent and can meet deadlines, as this is an indicator of how a student might perform when enrolled. As such, late applications are typically not accepted. The best way to avoid any last-minute issues or unnecessary anxiety is to aim to submit your application a few days before the deadline.
Best of luck with your application! It's a great sign that you're planning so thoroughly.
