Hi everyone, I'm thinking of applying to Harvard, and I want to make sure I keep track of all the important dates. Can anyone tell me when the Harvard application is due? Thanks a lot!
Hi! It's essential to be on top of deadlines when applying to colleges like Harvard. For the upcoming admission cycle, Harvard offers two deadlines: Restrictive Early Action (REA) and Regular Decision (RD).
The Restrictive Early Action deadline is November 1st. If you choose to apply REA, you'll typically receive your admission decision in mid-December. It's important to note that REA at Harvard is restrictive, meaning you cannot apply to another private college/university's Early Decision or Early Action programs. However, applying to public universities or colleges through non-binding early processes is allowed.
The Regular Decision deadline is January 1st. If you apply RD, you'll receive your decision by the end of March or early April.
Make sure to prepare all your application materials ahead of time, including your essays, recommendation letters, and any other requirements specific to your application. Good luck with your Harvard application!
