When are regular decision application deadlines?

I'm planning out my college applications, and I need to know the standard due dates for regular decision applications. Is there a common deadline, or does it vary a lot between schools?

The regular decision application deadlines can vary between schools, but they typically fall around January 1 to February 1. For many schools, particularly those that are more selective or use the Common Application, January 1 is a common deadline. However, some schools might have deadlines as early as December 15 or as late as February 15.

Public institutions or less selective schools can sometimes have even later deadlines into the spring, or offer rolling admissions where they will continue to accept applications until they've filled all the spots in their incoming class.

Even though there isn't a single deadline day for all schools, many of the universities tend to stick within this range. That being said, it's crucial for you to double-check the specific due dates for every college you plan to apply to, as the dates can change year to year. Be sure to make a comprehensive list with the colleges' names and their respective deadlines for your personal reference, as this will give you a clear overview of your roadmap and timeline.
