What's the regular decision deadline for the Common App?

I'm trying to get my applications in order and was wondering when the regular decision deadline usually is for schools using the Common App. Are the deadlines similar for most universities, or do they vary significantly?

Common Application regular decision deadlines can vary widely from school to school. However, most regular decision deadlines fall between January 1st and January 15th. This gives you until the very beginning of the new year to finalize and submit your applications.

Among other colleges, January 1st is the regular decision deadline for Harvard and Princeton. January 2nd is the deadline for Dartmouth and Johns Hopkins. January 5th is the regular decision deadline for MIT, NYU, University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford. And January 6th is the deadline for University of Chicago.

Keep in mind that these are the usual dates for these schools, and they are subject to change. These deadlines may vary from year to year, so it's crucial to check each individual school's website or the Common App for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Remember that the deadline is typically the date by which all elements of your application must be submitted, including transcripts, test scores, letters of recommendation, essays, and the application form itself. It's good practice to aim to have everything submitted well before the deadline to account for any unforeseen delays or technical issues.
