Hi everyone, I'm planning on applying to some colleges via early action and wanted to make sure I stay on top of all the deadlines. Generally speaking, when are the majority of early action application deadlines? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! Generally speaking, most Early Action (EA) application deadlines for colleges fall around November 1st or November 15th. This can vary by institution, so it's important to double-check each college's specific deadline. Some schools may have slightly different deadlines depending on their individual early action plans, such as Restrictive Early Action (REA) or Single-Choice Early Action (SCEA).
To stay organized and on top of these deadlines, I recommend creating a spreadsheet or list with each college you plan to apply to, their EA deadline, and any specific requirements for their early action plan. This will help ensure you submit all necessary materials by the deadline and maximize your chances for admission.
Remember that you'll also need to complete any supplemental materials or essays required by each college, in addition to the general application. Giving yourself ample time to finalize your application package is crucial for putting your best foot forward.
Good luck with the application process!
