Hey everyone, I was wondering if there's a maximum number of times you can apply to Harvard during the college application process. Will I be able to apply Early Action and then again during the Regular Decision round?
You are only allowed to submit one application to Harvard during a college application cycle. If you choose to apply Early Action and get deferred, your application will automatically be rolled over to the Regular Decision pool. However, if you are rejected during the Early Action round, you won't be able to apply again during the Regular Decision round for the same application cycle.
If you are unsuccessful in gaining admission in one application cycle, you are welcome to apply again in a subsequent cycle, either as a transfer student or after taking a gap year. There are no official limits to the number of times you can apply in different years, but it is important to use the time between applications wisely and meaningfully to improve your profile and demonstrate growth. Good luck!
