What's the usual time frame for most college application deadlines?

I'm trying to plan out my senior year, and I want to make sure I'm on track. When do most college applications typically become due?

College application deadlines can vary quite a bit depending upon the college and the type of application plan you are following. Here are the generalized timelines:

Regular Decision: For Regular Decision, the most common application deadline is January 1. However, some colleges may set their deadline at January 15, February 1, or later. It's important to check each individual school's deadline.

Early Action (EA) and Early Decision (ED): These deadlines are typically earlier in the academic year. For Early Action and Early Decision, deadlines are most often either November 1 or November 15, though some may be as early as October 15.

Some colleges have a second round of ED, known as ED II, with deadlines typically on January 1 or January 15.

Rolling Admissions: Colleges with a Rolling Admissions policy typically open their application period in the early fall (around September) and continue accepting applications until all spots in the incoming class are filled.

Remember, these are submission deadlines, so all components of your application must be completed and submitted by these dates. It's also good to keep in mind that submitting your application earlier can provide an advantage in terms of receiving a decision earlier, and in some cases, in admission chances as well. Always double-check the specific dates for your schools of interest for the most accurate information.
