There are early deadlines, priority deadlines, and regular deadlines, each with its own respective date attached to it. Ultimately, you end up choosing one that fits best with your timeline. But, have you ever wondered what these deadlines mean? In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019ll break down the different college application deadlines, what they mean, and list some advantages of each one.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Common<\/strong> <strong>Application Deadlines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/andrew-neel-ute2XAFQU2I-unsplash-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4633\" style=\"width:329px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/andrew-neel-ute2XAFQU2I-unsplash-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/andrew-neel-ute2XAFQU2I-unsplash-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/andrew-neel-ute2XAFQU2I-unsplash-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/andrew-neel-ute2XAFQU2I-unsplash-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/andrew-neel-ute2XAFQU2I-unsplash-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/andrew-neel-ute2XAFQU2I-unsplash.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@andrewtneel?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\">Andrew Neel<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/girl-wearing-grey-long-sleeved-shirt-using-macbook-pro-on-brown-wooden-table-ute2XAFQU2I?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> 1. <strong>Priority Deadline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A priority deadline means\u00a0 your application will be one of the first received and reviewed by the admissions team.Admissions officials review applications in the order they receive them, starting with the earliest (priority deadlines) and ending with the latest (regular or rolling deadlines). If there\u2019s a surplus of priority applications, those who apply during the rolling or regular admissions period may not be admitted because priority applicants could fill all available spots. By applying to a priority deadline, you ensure that the admissions team will consider your application first, ahead of regular applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Advantages of Priority Deadline:\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Higher admission rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Receive your decision sooner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">More time to find housing or obtain a visa, if needed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Gets your application process out of the way<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Expresses strong interest towards the school\/program<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Regular Decision Deadline<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Advantages of Regular Decision Deadline:<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As the most popular college application deadline, the regular decision deadline grants you a specific time frame to expect a university\u2019s admission decision. Most institutions set this deadline about 1-2 months after the priority or early decision deadline, giving you extra time to explore your options (e.g., considering other schools or programs) and refine your application materials. This deadline provides applicants with a clear sense of stability, neutrality, and predictability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">More time to gather your materials for the application process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Set decision window from the university&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Most popular option amongst students<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Rolling Admissions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">The final deadline is the rolling admissions deadline. Rolling admissions is a flexible process used by some colleges where they review applications as they come in, rather than waiting for a deadline. Instead of having to wait months, you\u2019ll usually get a decision within 4-6 weeks (if not sooner), and they keep admitting students until they fill their cohort. Most schools with rolling admissions open their applications around early September and stay open until the spring, so there&#8217;s plenty of time to apply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of Rolling Admissions Deadline:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Apply early and hear your decision sooner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">More time to apply&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/kaitlyn-baker-vZJdYl5JVXY-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/kaitlyn-baker-vZJdYl5JVXY-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/kaitlyn-baker-vZJdYl5JVXY-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/kaitlyn-baker-vZJdYl5JVXY-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/kaitlyn-baker-vZJdYl5JVXY-unsplash.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@kaitlynbaker?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\">Kaitlyn Baker<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/person-using-laptop-vZJdYl5JVXY?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Emerson College Application Deadline<\/strong>s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Emerson\u2019s graduate application deadlines are similar to those listed above, but there are a few differences. \u201cGraduate programs at Emerson College have either rolling or priority deadlines, depending on the program\u2019s format and start term,\u201d says Charlotte Coberley, Assistant Director of Graduate Admissions at Emerson. Some programs have only one start term, while others may have two or three. This means application deadlines can vary for Fall, Spring, and Summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emerson currently offers only two programs with a true priority deadline:  <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/majors-programs\/graduate-programs\/film-and-media-art\">Film and Media Art (MFA)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/majors-programs\/graduate-programs\/communication-disorders\">Communication Disorders (On-Campus)<\/a>. \u201cPrograms with a priority deadline require that all application materials be submitted on or before the listed date,\u201d Charlotte explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All other graduate programs fall under the \u2018rolling admissions\u2019 category, with their own subcategories of priority, regular, and final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admissions teams use these subcategories to evaluate candidates for financial support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/Charlotte.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/Charlotte.jpg 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/Charlotte-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Charlotte Coberley, Assistant Director of Graduate Admissions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\"> \u201cWe give students who apply on or before the priority deadline the most consideration for scholarships or fellowship awards,\u201d explains Charlotte. They base these financial awards on the merit of a student&#8217;s application at the time of submission. So, the closer you submit your materials to a regular or final deadline, the lower your chances of receiving scholarship funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Some Advice For Applicants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">\u201cThe advice I always give applicants is to check when the priority deadline is for their program and ensure all materials are submitted on or before that deadline,\u201d adds Charlotte, as doing so allows for the applicant to track the progress of their materials at any point by logging into their admission portal. This is extra beneficial for applicants that are awaiting recommendation letters and transcript evaluations. Charlotte also recommends \u201capply early and reach out to your admission counselor with questions or concerns\u201d for additional help and guidance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/180531_BookDesign-003-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4628\" style=\"width:331px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/180531_BookDesign-003-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/180531_BookDesign-003-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/180531_BookDesign-003-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/180531_BookDesign-003.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Understanding college application deadlines can be hard, but it doesn\u2019t have to be confusing.
