A bit stressed here, does anyone know exactly when the early action deadline is for North Carolina A&T State University? I want to get my application ready well in advance. Any tips on preparing myself for early action would also be greatly appreciated!
North Carolina A&T State University has an early action deadline of November 1st.
As for tips on getting ready for early action:
1. Plan Backwards: Set a timetable for yourself working backwards from the deadline. Allot time for each part of the process including finalizing your application, writing essays, requesting transcripts, and getting recommendation letters.
2. Early is Better: Don't wait until the last minute to submit your application. Technology glitches can happen, so try to send your application at least a week ahead of the deadline.
3. Double Check: Before hitting submit, review everything carefully. It's also a good idea to have someone else take a look at your application to catch any errors.
4. Be Genuine: In your essays and personal statements, be authentic. Admissions officers want to hear your voice and your story.
5. Recommendation Letters: If these are required, request them from your recommenders well ahead of time. Provide them with background on why you're applying to NCAT and any specific experiences or accomplishments they should highlight.
Remember, early action isn't binding, but it does show that you are highly interested in the school. It can also give you a bit of a mental break, because you may hear back from the school earlier than regular decision applicants. Best of luck with your application!
