*Deadlines may vary at each university and sometimes depend on the program. Visit the university websites directly for their deadlines.
- Early Action (EA) November 1 – November 15
- Early action is nonbinding: Students receive an early response to their application but do not have to commit to the university until the reply date of 1 May.
- You can apply to multiple universities under Early Action.
- Universities with early action admission usually contact applicants with their decision sometime between December 1 to January 31.
- Early Decision (ED): November 1 – November 15
- Early decision is binding: Students who are accepted as ED applicants must attend the college.
- As a result, you can only apply to one university under Early Decision.
- Students submit applications sooner and receive answers about admission faster.
- Restrictive Early Action (REA): November 1 – November 15
- Restrictive early action is nonbinding: Like early action, REA is non-binding, but students may only apply to one private university with REA. They also can’t apply Early Decision to other universities.
- Some universities refer to this process as “Single-choice Early Action”.
- Regular Decision (RD): January 1 – January 15
- With a later deadline of January 1 or mid January, Regular Decision applicants have plenty of time to work on their essays, retake their tests and fine tune their application.
- You can apply RD to as many universities as you’d like.
- Rolling Admissions: Varies by institution, often extending from September to May
- Rolling admission colleges accept applications until classes are about to start or until all the seats are full, whichever comes first.
*Deadlines may vary at each university and sometimes depend on the program/tests you sit for. Visit the university websites directly for their deadlines.
