Can anyone inform me about the Early Action deadlines for Stanford? I want to ensure that I manage my time appropriately and meet all necessary deadlines while balancing my coursework.
For the application cycle starting in 2024, Stanford University's Early Action deadline is November 1. All parts of the application, including the Common Application, Stanford supplement, and letters of recommendation, must be submitted by this deadline. However, standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) can be sent after this deadline, but must arrive at the admissions office as soon as possible and definitely before decisions are released. Considering Stanford's applicant pool, it's best to have all your materials in by the deadline to ensure your application is competitive.
Remember, Stanford's Early Action is restrictive, which means you can't apply to any other schools early action or early decision (except public universities or colleges with rolling admissions). Decisions are typically released in mid-December.Make sure to double check these deadlines directly in Stanford's website or application portal to have the most accurate information, as they might sometimes vary.
Good luck with your application!
