I am specifically looking at schools in Georgia and realized I missed some application deadlines. Are there any colleges in Georgia that usually accept late applications for 2024, and how does that process work?
While most colleges in Georgia have application deadlines in the Fall of the preceding year, some colleges continue to accept late applications if they have not reached their capacity. That said, applying late can potentially impact your chances of acceptance and financial aid offerings since there are fewer spaces and less funding available later in the cycle.
Here are some Georgia colleges that are known to accept late applications:
1. Kennesaw State University: Known to accept late applicants, with their regular application deadline being in March.
2. Mercer University: They have a rolling admissions policy, meaning they accept applications until their classes are full.
3. University of North Georgia: They continue to accept applications after their regular decision deadline up until the start of classes, space permitting.
4. Georgia Gwinnett College: They offer rolling admissions and accept applications up until the start of each semester.
5. Augusta University: They accept applications on a rolling basis, up to the start of each term.
Note that the process for late applications generally mirrors that of applying within the standard deadlines but may have expedited timelines for receiving decisions. All standard application materials (including transcripts, test scores, etc.) will still be necessary.
Remember, though, that popular programs and on-campus accommodations can fill up quickly, and certain financial aid opportunities might be diminished for late applicants. Therefore, the sooner you can get your application submitted, the better. Good luck!
