• Early Decision 2 A few schools allow students to
  submit applications at the regular admission
  deadline and then hear about six weeks later.

• Are You Applying Regularly?
• Regular Decision Students apply in the fall of
  their senior year, usually with a December or
  January deadline. Decisions are released by
  mid-April, and students generally have until May
  1 to decide.
• Rolling Decision Students hear approximately six
  to eight weeks after they apply but dont have to
  reply until May. Its a variation of first
  come,first served students who apply early in
  the cycle have an edge.
