Does anyone have the deadlines for the Common Application for 2024? I want to make sure I'm on top of things and don't miss any important dates.
Sure, I can help you with that. The deadlines for the Common Application vary based on the admission plan you're choosing:
1. Early Decision (ED) and Early Action (EA): Typically, these applications are due around November 1st, but do check with the specific colleges you're applying to as some might have different deadlines, like October 15th or November 15th.
2. Regular Decision (RD): These applications usually have a deadline of January 1st or January 15th, but again, make sure to verify with each college because they might have unique deadlines.
3. Rolling Admissions: For schools with rolling admissions, there isn't a hard deadline. The application window usually opens in the Fall and remains open until all the spots in the incoming freshman class are filled.
Remember that deadline means by 11:59 PM in your local time zone on the date listed, not the next day. Also, be sure to check if the college requires any additional application materials, and note the deadlines for those too. For example, check the deadlines for sending in test scores, secondary school reports, or letters of recommendation.
Finally, I recommend submitting your application a few days before the deadline to avoid any last-minute technical glitches or other unforeseen issues. Hope that helps!
