Hello everyone! I'm considering applying ED to a university but I'm not sure when the deadline is. Is it usually the same for all colleges or does it vary?
The Early Decision (ED) deadline varies by college, but traditionally, it falls around November 1st for many institutions. Some colleges can have ED deadlines in mid-November or early December as well. However, these are broad trends and the exact deadlines can differ.
To ensure that you submit your application on time, it's advisable to check the admissions websites of the colleges to which you're applying. They will have the most accurate and updated information for their specific ED deadline. Remember, this deadline will typically include all components of your application including essays, recommendations, and transcripts, so be sure to account for those while planning your application process.
