What's the Deadline for the Common App?

Early deadlines are coming up so make sure to avoid any stress by submitting before the deadline.

For your Common App applications, here is the rule for calculating the deadlines:

11:59pm, the student's local time, on deadline day

Pro tip: DO NOT WAIT UNTIL 11:59PM OF DEADLINE DAY.

Technical glitches can happen, servers can crash, the tech gods can get angry.

Try to submit the day before so that you have time to resolve any problems that crop up.

Before you submit, save a preview of your application so that you have a copy of it, and also screenshot the page that shows you have submitted. Just in case you need to prove that you did.

And once you've submitted, CELEBRATE. It's a big deal!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
