I'm using the Common App for my college applications, and I want to make sure I don't miss any deadlines. Can anyone tell me exactly what time the regular decision deadline expires? Just trying to plan my submissions accordingly. Thanks!
The Common App regular decision deadline is typically 11:59 PM in the applicant's local time zone on the deadline day, which is generally January 15th for many schools but can vary.
This means that you should aim to have your application complete and submitted before midnight in your time zone. However, I strongly recommend submitting your application at least a few days early. This will give you a buffer in case there are any unforeseen technical issues, or if you need to make any last-minute adjustments to your application.
Remember, universities appreciate punctuality and preparation. Showing that you can manage your time well by submitting ahead of deadlines reflects positively on you as a potential student. Good luck with your applications!
