I'm using the Common App to apply to a few colleges and want to make sure I'm submitting everything on time. What's the typical deadline for regular decision submissions?
The standard deadline for regular decision applications through the Common App is typically January 1st or January 15th, however, this can vary by school. Some schools may even extend their regular decision deadlines as late as February or March.
Your best bet is to check the admissions page of the specific schools you're applying to for the most accurate date, as each college can set their own deadlines. Make sure you double-check the dates and include time for any supplemental essays or materials required by those colleges.
Also, remember that submitting your application earlier could be beneficial. This gives you time to resolve any issues that may pop up and allows your recommenders plenty of time to submit their letters.
