Can anyone help me out with UC Berkeley's application deadline? I've been hearing different dates. Also, are there early decision or early action options?
The University of California, including UC Berkeley, has a filing period for applications that starts on October 1 and ends on November 30 for first-year applicants. It's important that you complete and submit your application within this window, as they do not accept late applications.
To address your second question, UC Berkeley and other UC schools do not offer Early Decision or Early Action. This means you just apply during the aforementioned filing period and await your decision, typically released in March. UC Berkeley and other UC campuses review applications at the same time and release their decisions together, so applying earlier in the filing period will not result in an earlier decision notice.
