I'm planning to apply to Columbia University, and I'm trying to make sure I don't miss any deadlines. Does anyone know the regular decision deadline for Columbia? Any tips for managing these application dates would be greatly appreciated!
Columbia University's Regular Decision deadline is typically on January 1st. It's important to note that this is the final due date, but your school counselor and recommenders may need to submit their parts (such as your transcript and letters of recommendation) earlier due to winter break.
As for managing the application dates, creating a comprehensive calendar can be helpful. Mark all relevant deadlines such as the application deadline, financial aid deadline, and recommendation letter deadlines. Also, keep track of the specific parts of each application you've completed - the Common App essay, supplementary essays, the details section, etc. Break down the tasks and try to complete a bit every day to avoid last-minute stress.
Checking university websites for the most current deadlines is highly recommended, as dates can occasionally shift. Making a habit of double-checking these details closer to your application submission can prove beneficial.
Best of luck with your application!
