Data - Application Deadlines: Early Decision, Early Action, Final, Priority & Scholarship Deadlines

Where can I find application deadlines, including priority and scholarship deadlines? All deadline data in CounselMore lives in one place: the Application Guidelines section of the Data Manager. Each deadline type has its own column, and you can turn on any of them for your college lists and App Tracker.

Deadline columns available in CounselMore

The Application Guidelines section has these deadline columns:

  • 1st Early Decision Deadline: the school's first (or only) Early Decision deadline.
  • 2nd Early Decision Deadline: the school's second Early Decision round (often called ED II), if it has one.
  • 1st Early Action Deadline: the school's first (or only) Early Action deadline.
  • 2nd Early Action Deadline: the school's second Early Action round (EA II), if it has one.
  • FINAL DEADLINE: the school's final application deadline for fall entry.
  • Deadlines for terms other than Fall: deadlines that don't fit the columns above. This includes spring or other term entry and other early deadlines some schools set, such as priority deadlines for merit scholarships, honors programs, or housing. Where a school hasn't published this information, the cell shows "Unreported."

Related columns in the same section that help with deadline and aid planning:

  • Fresh Enter Spring y/n: whether the school admits first-year students for spring entry.
  • Aid Forms / Analysis: the financial aid forms the school requires.
  • Non-need/Merit Aid Gauge: how much non-need (merit) aid the school offers.

Tip: Many schools, especially highly selective ones, require students to apply earlier than the Regular Decision deadline to be considered for merit scholarships. Always check Deadlines for terms other than Fall alongside FINAL DEADLINE so that a student applying Regular Decision doesn't miss a scholarship deadline.

Priority Deadline (strategy column)

The Priority Deadline column is different from the deadline data columns above. It is a status and strategy column that you fill in yourself for each student, so you can note the priority deadline that matters for that student's plan (scholarship, honors, housing, etc.).

Because each school sets different priority deadlines for different purposes, you can also create custom columns to track a specific school's priority deadlines over time.
