I've been interested in applying to CMU for a few months now. Does anyone know when the deadlines for applications are? I just want to make sure I manage my time well.
Carnegie Mellon University operates under different application deadlines depending upon how you plan to apply. For the Regular Decision plan, the application deadline is January 3th. If you're planning to apply Early Decision, the deadline is November1st. It's essential to keep in mind that Early Decision is binding, meaning you commit to enroll at Carnegie Mellon if accepted.
Additionally, there is the November 15th deadline for the priority consideration for scholarships, where you could potentially receive a merit-based award from the institution.
Please ensure that along with the application, other key components such as transcripts, recommendations, and any supplemental material are also submitted by these respective deadlines.
Do remember to give yourself ample time to complete each part of your application, particularly your essays. This is your chance to truly represent your experiences and ambitions to the admissions committee. Best of luck!
