Admissions Tip: January Deadlines Confronted

We’ve been devoting a fair amount of attention in the past few weeks to the interview experiences and preparations of round one applicants. Now that we’re well into the first full week of December, we wanted to consider how things are shaping up for those targeting schools’ round two deadlines.

Because time management is a crucial element of the application process, it’s important to think about when each application is due.  This is an especially relevant consideration for those targeting multiple schools with January deadlines, as the majority of programs have set their dates in the first two weeks of the month:

Week 1
January 3rd: Harvard, UCLA
January 4th: Wharton
January 5th: Kellogg, LBS

Week 2
January 7th: Michigan
January 8th: CMU, Duke
January 9th: Cornell
January 10th: Chicago, MIT Sloan, Stanford, Yale
January 11th: Darden, UVA

We know that this very compressed schedule might be a difficult reality to confront for those working on applications for two or more of these programs, but hopefully this will put the coming weeks into perspective.  It’s not too late to take a careful inventory of the work required for each school and devise a realistic plan of attack.  Because the end of December can be a very hectic (but festive) time for everyone, we suggest frequently checking in with your recommenders over the coming weeks and, if possible, completing at least one school’s essays before the holidays kick into high gear.  Best of luck!
