Kind of freaking out here. I want to make sure I have everything in order for the Common App, but I can't seem to find the due date. Anybody know when it is? Do all schools have the same due date or does it vary per school?
Actually, the Common App doesn't have a single, universal due date. Rather, each college or university that uses the Common App sets its own application deadlines. These deadlines can vary quite a bit, depending on the school and the type of admission you're applying for (early decision, early action, regular decision).
For example, typical early action and early decision deadlines fall around November 1st or November 15th. Regular decision deadlines can be anywhere from December 1st to January 1st or January 15th, usually.
In order to find the specific deadline for each school, you'll need to check the admissions section of each school's website or in the Common App itself when you add that school. It's crucial to keep track of these individual deadlines, especially if you're applying to multiple schools, as missing a deadline could result in your application not being considered at all.
Just remember: it's always better to submit your application well before the deadline. This ensures any technical issues or last-minute omissions can be rectified. Good luck with your submissions!
