Most schools in the Triangle are officially out for a two week holiday break. For most students, that means it’s time to have fun and not study. For many high school seniors, however, it’s the perfect time to finish those college applications.
While most college deadlines for early decision and early admissions have passed, the majority of students will be aiming for those regular college admissions dates. Those dates commonly occur from January 1st until as late as the middle of March. In addition, some schools may still have time to submit applications in order to be considered for Merit Aid. Early January is usually the latest schools allow for those submissions, so check with your counselor or the admissions department at the school you are applying to.
