I'm applying to several colleges this year and am working on organizing my application schedule. Does anyone know the general regular decision deadline for most schools?
Generally, the regular decision deadline for many colleges tends to be January 1 of the year you are planning to enroll. However, it varies from school to school. Some colleges may have their deadlines a little later, around January 15 or February 1, while others may have it a bit earlier in December.
It's critical that you check each specific college's admissions website for the exact dates; make sure to also take into account any specific programmatic deadlines if you are applying to a specialized program within the college.
As you organize your application schedule, it could be beneficial to create a spreadsheet including each school's specific deadline, application requirements, and essay prompts. That way, you can easily track what you've completed and what you still need to do.
