University Application Deadline Tracker
Different countries, different intakes, different document requirements — and one missed deadline can cost you a year. Track every university application with its real deadline, a requirement checklist (transcripts, English test, references, statement of purpose), and a status stage from researching to submitted.

Sorted by stage, then urgency. Data is stored only in your browser’s local storage.
How it works
- Add each university: name, program, application deadline, and the documents it requires.
- Status stages: researching → preparing → submitted → offer / rejected.
- Countdown badges show days until each deadline — with a 2-week internal buffer highlighted.
- The checklist per university shows exactly what's still missing.
The formula
Real deadline
work from: published deadline − 2 weeks
Documents, time zones and payment processing add days. The tracker shows both the published date and highlights when you should target submission.
Worked example
Worked example
- Five universities, deadlines spread over three months
- Two need IELTS results — test booked 6 weeks before the first deadline
- Transcript requests sent in week 1 (they take 2–3 weeks)
All five submitted at least a week early — because the tracker made the chain of dependencies visible from day one.
Common mistakes
- Treating the published deadline as the real one — payment processing, document uploads and time zones add real days.
- Forgetting the English test timeline — IELTS/TOEFL results take days to weeks, and retakes cost more time.
- Requesting recommendations at the last minute — professors need 2–4 weeks, and their deadlines become yours.
Frequently asked questions
Which deadlines should I track?
Both the application deadline and your internal document milestones: test dates, transcript requests, recommendation requests — the tracker's checklist handles these.
Is the data stored on a server?
No — everything lives in your browser's local storage on your device.
Does it handle different countries' systems?
Yes — it's date-driven, so US, UK, European, Australian and Asian application cycles all work. Add the deadlines as published by each university.
