If I decide to apply for the Fall of 2016, then when should I send my application?

Paying for College

<p>Actually what is Fall and Spring? Is it true that the students only applying to Fall are eligible to get Financial Aids? </p>

<p>You have to look at each school’s website to see whether they accept applications for admissions in semesters other than the Fall. Some do, some don’t. If they accept students for starting in the other terms, then they likely will also have financial aid.</p>

<p>Some schools call the second semester (after New Year’s) Winter term, and some call it Spring term. Some colleges also have summer semesters (usually larger ones). There are a few variations on this, but this is typical.</p>

<p>If you want to apply for fall 2016, you would start sending in applications in fall 2015. Again, each school website can tell you their application deadlines.</p>

<p>Are your an international student? Financial aid is pretty hard to come by for international students regardless of what term you apply for.</p>

<p>Most students applying for fall 2016 admission will be applying for college in fall or early winter 2015.</p>

<p>You can’t apply NOW. The applications being received NOW are for admission fall 2015.</p>

<p>And what are the early decision and early action? I’m not getting it as well. Please Suggest!!!</p>

<p>If you are applying for early decision or early action for admission fall 2016, you will submit your applications about a year from now!</p>

<p>Look on the web sites of your schools to find out if they have EA or ED applications. It should be plain from the site what that means and the dates they are due.</p>

<p>You are NOT going to find admissions application deadline information for,the 2016-2017 school year on the websites if you look now. The deadlines NOW are for the 2015-2016 school year.</p>

<p>Check for those new deadlines late summer 2015. That is usually when colleges post their deadlines for the next school application cycle. If you are applying for admission in September 2016…you are a year too early!!</p>
