Important College Deadlines You Do Not Want to Miss- 2025, Part 2

Always triple verify by going to the official website to confirm College Deadlines You Do Not Want to Miss

The below deadlines are for some (not all) Pennsylvania schools/programs. I will be making more posts for other regions of the United States. When in doubt, for merit scholarships if you cannot find a specific scholarship deadline, apply Early Action because some programs may give priority consideration for merit scholarships if you apply by the Early Action deadline!

Note that the University of Pittsburgh will consider you for academic scholarships automatically as long you submit everything before December 1.

Penn State offers the Penn State Commonwealth Award but among its criteria is Pennsylvania residency, so always make sure you read up on criteria on the official website. Information on this award https://www.psu.edu/costs-aid/types-of-aid/scholarships/commonwealth-award

University	Early Decision / Early Action Deadline	Regular Decision Deadline

University of Pittsburgh (Pitt)	— (No formal Early Decision/Action)	Rolling admissions (submit as early as possible)

I know there are many college deadlines you do not want to miss, so an Excel sheet isn't a bad idea either!
