Questions
Which rounds close on November 15, 2026?
Early Action at 120, Early Decision at 65, Early Action II at 2 and Regular Decision at 1.
What time is a November 15 deadline?
Usually 11:59 pm in your own time zone, unless the university says otherwise on its site. Don't wait for the last hour: the portal can slow down on big deadline days.
Which SAT date works for a November 15 deadline?
No SAT sitting still open gives scores before November 15, 2026. The next one, November 7, 2026, has scores on November 20, 2026: some universities accept scores after the deadline, so check their testing page.
What must be in by the deadline?
Your application, essays and fee. Recommendations, the school report and official test scores can often arrive a little later, but each university sets its own rule: check it.
