Is Emory University on a rolling admission basis?

I'm trying to figure out if Emory University offers rolling admissions. I'm planning my college applications and want to prioritize schools based on their deadlines. Does anyone know how Emory handles their admissions timeline?

Emory University does not use a rolling admissions process. Instead, they have set application deadlines that applicants must meet. For the 2025-2026 application cycle, you have two main options when applying to Emory: Early Decision and Regular Decision.

There are two rounds of Early Decision (ED):

ED I, where the application due date is November 1, and you will receive notification of the college's decision in mid-December.

ED II, where the application is due by January 1, and you'll get your decision by mid-February.

As for Regular Decision (RD), the application deadline is January 1, with decision notifications typically released in late March or early April.

Remember that ED is a binding agreement. If you are accepted to Emory under ED, you must withdraw all applications to other institutions and commit to Emory. Therefore, you should only apply ED if Emory is your top choice. RD, on the other hand, is non-binding, so you have until the national deadline of May 1 to decide whether to attend.
