Application Deadlines

In addition to the application deadlines, make sure you’re aware of all other admissions and financial aid deadlines before you apply.

If you know that Wake Forest is your first choice, don’t keep it a secret: Early Decision (ED), which offers two windows of opportunity, might be for you. Both ED options are binding, meaning, if admitted, you will have committed to being a Wake Forest student!

• Early Decision I lets you apply early in the fall (by November 15) and hear back from us on a rolling basis.
• Early Decision II gives those who missed the ED I deadline a second chance to apply ED (by January 1). With ED II, you will hear back from us around February 15.
• Regular Decision (RD) applications are not binding and have a January 1 deadline, and you will hear back from us around April 1.
