  • Regular Decision: Preferred by April 1, 2027; later applications accepted while space is available

Editor's notes

  • Health majors, mind Dec. 1. Nursing, occupational therapy and physical therapy all close on Dec. 1 with a 3.20 GPA minimum, and Early Action or Regular Decision applicants must have their documents in by Dec. 11. If you pick Regular Decision for one of these, you've missed it.
  • Early Action here is a real choice, not a formality. SLU's own page says the committee won't see your senior grades or late-fall test scores if you apply early. If your junior year was strong, go early. If you need first-semester senior grades to make your case, use ED II or Regular Decision.
