Generally, application deadlines for Fall admission are between October and February. However:
* Early Action/Early Decision programs: Some universities offer early action or early decision programs with deadlines as early as November or December. These programs often have advantages (like earlier notification), but also limitations (binding agreements in early decision).
* Regular Decision: The standard application deadline is usually between January and February, but some universities may have deadlines as late as March or even rolling admissions (meaning applications are processed as they are received).
To find the exact deadline:
* Check the university's website: This is the most reliable source. Look for the admissions section, and often a specific page for engineering applicants.
* Contact the engineering department directly: If you can't find the information online, call or email the engineering department at the university.
In short, start checking the specific university's website *as soon as possible*, ideally in the summer or early fall before the intended admission year.
