The Regular Decision deadline is almost here – you got this!
We are just 5 days away from the deadline. We know this final stretch can feel overwhelming, but this is also the time to put the finishing touches on an application you’re proud of.
With that in mind, here are the most important things you should know as you complete your application. Let’s go over the important part at the top.
- The Regular Decision deadline to submit your Common Application and USC Questions is no later than 11:59:59PM on Saturday, January 10th, 2026 (in your respective time zone).
- Transcripts, letters of rec., and other supporting information may be submitted beyond the deadline. Do you best to get those in as soon as you can if you want them considered.
Watch our most recent AMA recording for help.
Yesterday, we held a live, video AMA where dozens of you logged in asked questions, and up-voted the most important questions you had. Please watch the recording, as you will likely find it helpful
Just Remember:
We are here to help. We know this process is confusing and can be stressful at times. Get your application in. Make sure it is well-written and telling your story in your most authentic voice. We want to get to know you.
So don’t miss the January 10th Regular Decision deadline!
