I'm curious about the top colleges that have application deadlines in February. If you know any standout schools or programs that I should consider, please let me know. I want to make sure I don’t miss out.
Quite a few colleges have application deadlines in February, and some even have deadlines in March or operate on a rolling admissions basis. However, note that the strongest programs at the most selective colleges typically have deadlines in January. Most of those colleges that have later deadlines tend to be slightly less competitive, but that doesn't mean you can't get an excellent education at them!
Colleges like the University of Arizona and Arizona State University have deadlines in February and March. Both have numerous strong programs, from business to climate science.
Oregon State University has a February deadline too. They're known for their programs in natural resources, agriculture, and forestry.
Michigan State University has a rolling application deadline; however, they recommend students to apply by February for consideration. MSU is especially renowned for its programs in elementary education, supply chain management, and agriculture.
Florida State University also allows applications until March. They have strong programs in business, criminology, and film.
Please, do take note that for merit scholarships, the deadlines might be earlier than the regular admission deadline. Also, some specific programs or majors might require an earlier application.
As a reminder, you'll want to stay on top of each college's specific deadlines and requirements for each part of the application, not just the main application itself. Some colleges require supplemental essays or have separate scholarship applications, so be sure to look into these details before submission.
