Hey, I'm trying to get my college applications in order and was wondering when the regular decision deadline for the Common App is. I don't wanna miss it, so any help would be appreciated!
The regular decision deadline for the Common App can vary based on the individual colleges you're applying to. However, for many schools, the deadline is often January 1st or January 15th. Some schools may have later deadlines in February or even into March, but these are less common.
Keep in mind that while the application deadline is important, there are also other deadlines to be aware of, like the deadline for sending in test scores or completing financial aid forms. It's always a good idea to double-check the specific deadlines on each college's admissions website to be sure.
Remember that while it is okay to submit your application on the day of the deadline, it is not ideal due to potential technical issues that could arise, either on your end or on the Common App site, especially since it tends to get crowded with last-minute submissions. Planning to submit in advance of the deadline will give you a buffer in case anything unexpected comes up.
