The most common deadline for regular decision applications is January 1. Some colleges accept applications after that date.

If you intend to apply under early decision or early action the application deadline is commonly between November 1 and November 15. Some schools also offer EDII with later application dates.

You absolutely need to to check the individual college website for information on the last date to take the SAT I or the ACT. There is not one standard date for all colleges. Be aware that some schools require subject tests, SAT IIs, as well.

Financial aid applications will have their own deadlines. Again, check the websites for information.
