Hey there! I'm a bit of a procrastinator and want to make sure I don't miss the most important dates. Anyone know when the typical deadline for regular college applications is for most schools? Thanks a ton in advance!
Hello! While dates can vary from college to college, the regular decision deadlines for most colleges tend to be January 1 or January 15. Some schools may even have deadlines that extend into February or later. However, do remember that submitting your application earlier can give you a peace of mind, and ample time to ensure everything on your application is as you want it to be.
It's very crucial to check the specific deadlines for each school you plan on applying to. You can usually find this information on their admissions website. Furthermore, be aware that financial aid applications also have their deadlines and it is typically earlier than the regular application deadlines.
Just a tip, although you may feel tempted to procrastinate, the college application process involves many components such as recommendation letters, essays, transcripts, etc, that take time to compile. So starting early will definitely help make this process less stressful.
