Is there a “deadline” for submitting applications to U.S. universities?
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010A lot of myUface users are asking if there’s a deadline to complete their myUface application, or whether there’s a deadline to complete university applications generally in the U.S.
The answer is, yes and no.
There is no strict deadline for completing your myUface application. No matter when you complete it, we will do our best to connect you with a good program as soon as possible. However, the earlier you start, the better. If you are planning to study in the U.S. in the fall of 2010, you need to get us your completed application by sometime in March, probably, in order to give us time to connect you with universities. Remember also that there is no promise that U.S. universities will be interested in your application. This is especially true if you need a lot of financial assistance.
U.S. universities generally have a few different deadlines for submitting applications, and they tend to fill up their classes as applications come in. Many of them do have a hard and fast deadline as well (usually in March, April, or sometimes May).
Also, remember that in a sense your myUface application is never complete – you can always come back and update or change it to make it better. Even if you miss out this year, you can get an early start on next year!
