What’s the deadline to apply to most all-boys schools in California?

Most all-boys schools in California follow the same general timeline as other private schools. Applications typically open in the fall, and deadlines often land in early to mid-January. Some schools with rolling admissions or smaller enrollments may keep things open longer, but the top schools tend to stick to a fixed calendar. You’ll want to get those recommendation letters and student essays in before the holiday cookies run out. If you’re aiming for interviews and shadow days too, start early in the school year. No one wants to be frantically filling out online forms in pajamas on January 15 at midnight. Mark your calendar and give yourself time to breathe—your future self will thank you.
