Hunter College Regular Decision Deadline

Can someone confirm when the regular decision deadline for Hunter College is? I want to make sure everything is submitted on time. Also, any tips for meeting the requirements efficiently would be appreciated!

For Hunter College, the regular decision application becomes available on August 1, with the deadline being February 1.

To ensure a smooth application process, here are some tips:

1. Organize your documents: Gather all required materials - transcript, recommendation letters, and any test scores (if Hunter College accepts them this year, check their website). Having these ready to go can save you frantic, last-minute searching and stress.

2. Work consistently on your application: Don’t try to complete the application in a day. Break it into manageable chunks and tackle each section with care, allowing time for your responses to application questions to be thoughtful and detailed.

3. Start working on your essays early: You want to ensure enough time to revise and improve your essays. Once you've written them, take a break, then return to them a few days later with fresh eyes. And don’t hesitate to ask for feedback from teachers, your school's college counselor, or mentors.

4. Submit ahead of the deadline: Technical glitches may happen, and they tend to happen right before the deadline when many students are trying to submit their applications. It's best to aim to submit your application a few days ahead of the deadline.

5. Have a contingency plan: Technical difficulties happen. Computers crash. Internet connections can go out unexpectedly. Maintain copies of your work on physical devices like flash drives, or cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox.

Remember to constantly check your email and your portal for any updates. Some schools may not process your application immediately. Don't worry if your portal does not update right away. It can take a few weeks for the school to process your application and mark material as received. Good luck!
