Hey guys, I want to apply to Harvard, but I'm not sure about their application deadlines. Can someone please help me out with the specific dates for both Early Action and Regular Decision? Thanks in advance!
Sure, I'm happy to help! For the Harvard undergraduate application, there are two deadlines: Early Action and Regular Decision.
Early Action (Single Choice):
- Application Deadline: November 1st
- Financial Aid Application Deadline: November 1st
- Notification Date: mid-December
Regular Decision:
- Application Deadline: January 1st
- Financial Aid Application Deadline: February 1st
- Notification Date: end of March (typically)
For both application cycles, the deadline for submitting the Common Application or Universal College Application is 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the stated deadline dates. Keep in mind that the deadlines apply for fall enrollment in the following year.
One important note regarding Harvard's Early Action program: it is single-choice, meaning you can apply early to Harvard while complying with the restrictions of any other Early Action or Early Decision programs. However, you should verify the specific policies of the other schools you're applying to if you plan to apply early to Harvard.
Good luck with your application!
