Does George Washington University Have Rolling Admissions?

I'm considering applying to George Washington University, and I'm trying to figure out their admissions process. Is it rolling admissions, or do they have strict application deadlines?

George Washington University does not use a rolling admissions process. Instead, they utilize a traditional deadline-based admissions process.

For the undergraduate program, they offer three different decision plans: Early Decision I, Early Decision II, and Regular Decision.

Early Decision I has a deadline of November 1st with notification by mid-December, and is binding - meaning if you're accepted under this policy, you are committing to attend GWU.

Early Decision II also has a binding agreement, but with a later deadline of January 5th, and notifications around mid-February.

The Regular Decision deadline is January 5th, and notifications are typically sent out in late March. If accepted under Regular Decision, you are not obligated to attend and have until May 1st to confirm your enrollment.

Applying earlier can have advantages, but you should choose the option that best fits with your overall application strategy and readiness. Good luck with your application!
