I'm trying to keep track of my application deadlines and need to know Princeton's regular decision deadline. Do they have any specific requirements attached to the timing of their application?
Princeton University's regular decision application deadline is typically on January 1. Keep an eye on the admissions website or sign up for updates from Princeton to stay informed about any changes.
In terms of specific requirements related to timing, Princeton uses the Common Application, which opens on August 1. Thus, you will not be able to submit your application until this date. As with all regular decision applications, it's very important to have everything submitted by the deadline - your essays, recommendation letters, and any additional required materials such as transcripts.
After the regular decision deadline, Princeton usually releases decisions in late March. Remember, you should take the time necessary to provide a complete and thoughtful application. Deadlines are absolute, so try to work on your application well before the actual due date to allow time for revisions. Good luck with your application process!
