Colleges With Late Application Deadlines

There are a few reasons you might be interested in colleges and universities with late application deadlines. Perhaps you were deferred in the early round and want to add more options to your college list without the rush of the (typical) January 1, regular round application deadline? Perhaps you’re hoping to boost your SAT or ACT score or even your GPA prior to applying? Or maybe you’re simply late to the game. If you are targeting a four-year college, today’s date should not stop you from applying to college. There are quite a few worthwhile colleges still accepting applications!
