I'm a little behind on some of the deadlines for college apps. When are most regular decision deadlines? Are there any schools with later deadlines for procrastinators like me?
The majority of regular decision deadlines for college applications tend to fall between December 31st and January 15th. However, there are several schools with later deadlines, giving you some extra time to put together your application. For instance, some colleges have regular decision deadlines in February or even March.
It might be a good idea to do some research on the specific colleges you are interested in to confirm their deadlines. You can usually find this information on the college's admissions website or by contacting their admissions office.
Additionally, some colleges offer rolling admissions, which means they review applications as they come in and continue to accept students until their freshman class is full. If you're interested in these schools, make sure you still submit your application as early as possible. While they typically offer more flexibility, waiting too long might make it harder for you to secure a spot in their freshman class.
Lastly, remember that even if a college has a later deadline, it's essential to give yourself enough time to submit a polished and thoughtful application. Good luck with your applications!
