Hey guys! I'm applying to the Academy of Art University, and I'm wondering what the admission deadline is. I don't want to miss it, so can someone please tell me the application timeline?
Hey! The Academy of Art University has a rolling admissions policy, which means they don't have a strict deadline for applications. You can apply at any time during the year, and they’ll review your application as soon as it's complete. However, it's a good idea to apply as early as you can, since there will be more spots still open in the class, and to maximize your chances of accessing limited resources like scholarships and on-campus housing.
You should also look out for specific dates for financial aid forms (like the FAFSA) and housing applications—they may have their own deadlines, even if the institution as a whole does not.
In terms of a general timeline, it's recommended to apply by December 1st if you plan to start in the Spring semester (January) or by June 1st for the Fall semester (September). These timeframes will improve your chances, but since the Academy uses rolling admissions, you can still submit your application after these dates, technically until the first week of the semester you're applying for.
Best of luck with your application!
