So I just created an account on the Common App to see what it is all about, but I am not applying to colleges this year. Is there any way I can delete the account or does it not matter when I create the account?
They’re going to flush all accounts this August, so it doesn’t matter when you sign up
Will I still be able to create a new account when I do need to apply?
you won’t need to sign up for a new account. Your current account will work.
