When does the Common App cycle officially close?

I'm a bit of a procrastinator and I just realized that I need to send a couple more applications. Till when can I submit them through the Common App? Is there a specific closing date for the application cycle or does it vary by college?

Hi there! No worries, it happens to the best of us. The Common App itself doesn't have a universal closing date. Instead, each college sets its own application deadline, which you’ll find listed on their admissions page or directly within the Common App when you add a college to your list. Many regular decision deadlines fall around January 1st or January 15th, but some schools may have later deadlines, even as late as February or March. Make sure to check the deadlines for each school you're interested in as soon as possible. It's also important to note that some programs within schools might have earlier deadlines, especially for competitive majors. After you've checked the dates, give yourself a buffer to avoid any last-minute technical issues. Best of luck with your applications!
