Could someone clarify the regular decision application deadline for Northwestern’s undergraduate program? I’m planning my application schedule and want to make sure I don’t miss it. Thanks in advance for the help!
Sure, I'd be happy to clarify that for you! Northwestern University's Regular Decision deadline for undergraduate applications is typically January 2nd. This means all parts of your application, including supplemental materials like transcripts, need to be submitted by this date. This is for the 2025-2026 application cycle, but you should always verify the exact dates on the Northwestern University Admissions website to ensure accuracy.
Remember to give yourself adequate time to prepare your application, so it's recommended to aim to complete it before the deadline. This can help avoid last-minute stress and unexpected technical issues. It's a good idea to start working on any essays and short answer prompts as soon as possible and make sure that anyone who is writing recommendation letters on your behalf is aware of the deadline.
Also, don't forget to ask your school counselor to send your official transcript to Northwestern ahead of time, with enough buffer to ensure it arrives by the deadline. Good luck with your application preparation!
