I'm considering applying to Rider University and want to know their regular decision deadline. How late can I submit my application, and is there any priority given to earlier submissions?
Rider University's regular decision deadline is on February 1st. You can submit your application any time before then. It's generally a good idea to submit your application well in advance of the deadline. Though Rider does have rolling admissions, which means they review applications as they are received and continue doing so until all spots are filled. So while there is no hard rule about priority given to earlier submissions, submitting earlier may increase your chances slightly. It can also leave you with more time to handle any unexpected issues that might arise. Remember to allow yourself plenty of time to ensure your application is complete and presents you in the best light possible.
