Frequently asked questions
- When are Common App deadlines?
- Common App deadlines are set by each college, not the Common App itself. Early Decision/Action deadlines are typically November 1; Regular Decision deadlines are usually January 1–5.
- Can AppSeasons track Common App deadlines automatically?
- Yes — AppSeasons tracks each college’s deadlines plus the sub-tasks (essays, recommendations, test sends) and reminds you before each is due.
