# What are the deadlines to apply to Penn as a first year student?

Modified on Thu, 31 Jul, 2025 at 3:21 PM

The Early Decision deadline is November 1 and applicants receive their admissions decision mid-December. Early Decision is binding, so those accepted are obligated to matriculate to Penn and withdraw all applications to other institutions they may have submitted.

\

The Regular Decision deadline is January 5 and applicants receive their decision by April 1. Applicants accepted during Regular Decision, or those deferred from Early Decision and accepted in Regular Decision, have until May 1 to accept our offer of admission.  For more information, please refer to our [website](https://admissions.upenn.edu/how-to-apply/first-year-applicants).
