Upcoming University Application Deadlines
Fall 2021 / Spring 2021 University Deadlines for MS / Masters Applications

There can be numerous types of deadlines that universities publish on their websites. We've tried to explain these below and make it easier for students to understand the types of University Application Deadlines. However, you should keep in mind that deadline dates as well as the types of deadlines vary from university to university. Typically all the universities have just one set of deadlines for all the courses for a Bachelors degree.You won’t have to look for deadlines major wise. It's best to reconfirm the deadline for a particular university on their website as universities keep updating these dates regularly. So once you have shortlisted on the universities you would like to apply for, start tracking when are college applications due. Mark your calendar so that you won’t forget

Types of university application deadlines

Early Decision:
An early decision deadline is typically 1st of November of your senior year (when you are in 12th grade). This kind of deadline is very similar to “early action,” with one big difference: an early decision application is binding. That means if you choose to apply for early decision and you are awarded admission, then you have committed to going to that school. You must withdraw your applications at other schools, and enroll in the one you chose. You only apply early decision for one school, and it should be the one at the top of your list.

Early Action/Priority Deadline:
Early action is the less-intense version of the early decision deadline above. With this admission deadline, you still submit your application early in your senior year (12th grade), however this is non-binding deadline which means you can consider enrolling in other schools which you find best.
There is an abundance of scholarships and financial aid available to help international students out. However, many universities require you to apply before the priority deadline which gives you a priority in getting awarded for some kind of scholarship.

Rolling Admissions Deadline/Final Deadline:
University with a rolling admissions deadline accept applications until programs fill up. There are chances that you might end up losing your spot if the class fills up, so it is best not to wait for too long. Some universities with rolling admissions will still have set admission deadlines for particular academic courses.
