I'm considering applying to Johns Hopkins University but need to know the regular decision deadline. Does anyone have the specifics on this so I can plan my application timeline effectively?
Johns Hopkins University's regular decision deadline is on January 4th. However, remember that preparing an application might take longer than you expect, especially since you'll need to complete a college-specific essay in addition to the main Common Application essay.
Here's a basic timeline you might consider trying to follow:
- By October: Start drafting your Common Application essay.
- By mid-November: Complete the Common Application excluding the Johns Hopkins-specific essay.
- By late November: Start on the Johns Hopkins-specific essay.
- By mid-December: Finish your Johns Hopkins-specific essay and ask someone to review and proofread your entire application.
- By December 31st: Final checks and submission of the application. Aim to submit before the actual deadline to avoid any last-minute website glitches or issues.
It's always better to give yourself more than enough time than to scramble at the end! Good luck with your application process.
