Hey there, as a high school junior, I'm starting to look at college applications and was wondering about early action. When is the typical early action deadline for most colleges?
Hello! It's great that you're starting to think about college applications early. Early action deadlines typically fall around November 1st for most colleges, though some might have it slightly earlier or later, like October 15th or November 15th. Keep in mind that these dates can vary between colleges, so it's essential to check each school's specific deadline on their admissions website.
Early action can be a great way to get a head start on the admissions process and hear back from colleges sooner than the regular decision timeline. Just be aware that early action deadlines are only a few months into your senior year of high school, so you'll need to start preparing your application materials, like essays and letters of recommendation, earlier to meet these deadlines. Best of luck with your college search and application process!
