Between Early Action, Early Decision, Early Decision 2, Rolling, Merit Scholarship, and "Regular" admissions deadlines, it can be tough to know when you're actually supposed to apply to a school.

In this episode, Dan and David define the different types of admissions deadlines and offer guidance on how to decide which submission window is best for you.

An important note: these episodes were recorded in 2020, a year when several colleges changed their admissions policies. Always be sure to check your school's admissions website for the most up-to-date information regarding application deadlines.
