How deadline reminders work
Blueprint emails you as deadlines approach. Here is what you can control and where.
Updated July 11, 2026 · 1 min read
Blueprint sends email reminders as your deadlines approach, so a Regular Decision date never sneaks up on you.
What you can control
Go to Settings and open the Notifications tab. You will see a toggle for each category of email Blueprint sends, including deadline reminders. Turn a category off and those emails stop; turn it back on any time. The reminder timing itself is handled by Blueprint, so there is nothing to configure beyond which emails you want.
Recommendation letter follow-ups
If you are on Pro, the Recommendation Hub can also remind you to follow up with recommenders whose letters are still pending. On the free tier you track letter status yourself.
Reminders only work if your deadlines are in Blueprint. Add your colleges early so the imported dates land on your timeline.
