Deadlines for Loyola University Applications

Hey gang, could someone please clarify the deadlines for applications at Loyola University? This includes Loyola Chicago, Loyola Marymount University, and others. I'm particularly interested in the early action/early decision deadlines. If there are any Loyola students out there, when did you submit your applications and by when did you hear back?

Sure, happy to provide those details.-

Loyola considers all first-year and transfer student applications on a rolling basis, until space is no longer available. To receive the best consideration for merit-based scholarships and programs, you should apply by the priority deadlines listed below.

Fall Semester (August) Start

December 1: Priority application deadline

May 1: Deposit payment deadline

Late August Fall semester begins

Spring Semester (January) Start

November 1: Priority application deadline

January 1: Deposit refund deadline

Mid-January: Spring semester begins

Remember, however, this can vary slightly from year to year. It's always a good idea to double-check these deadlines on the universities' official admissions websites closer to application season to ensure any changes haven't been made.As for Loyola students' experiences, it varies depending on the year and each individual's application. In general, once you submit your applications by the Early Action deadlines, many students have reported hearing back around mid-December for Early Action I and mid-February for Early Action II. These time frames are consistent with the official timelines provided by the universities. However, the exact date can fluctuate a bit within these windows.

Remember to prepare your application well in advance of the deadlines, to give yourself ample time to review everything thoroughly and to avoid any technical issues on the application portals closer to the deadline. Best of luck with your applications!
