Hi everybody! This might be a dumb question, but I'm a bit confused about the early decision deadlines for the Common App. Is there a specific date that's the same for all schools, or does it vary? Thanks in advance!
Hello! No question is a dumb question, and it's great that you're seeking clarification about early decision deadlines. Early decision deadlines do vary by school. While many universities have early decision deadlines around November 1st, some may have slightly different dates.
It is crucial that you check the specific early decision deadline for each school you intend to apply to since there is no universal deadline common to all colleges. You can typically find this information on the school's admissions website or noted in the school-specific section of the Common Application.
It's essential to plan accordingly and double-check each deadline to ensure you submit your application materials on time. Also, remember that applying early decision is a binding agreement, so you should only apply early decision if you are certain that your chosen school is your top choice.
Good luck with your applications!
