I thought I had a decent college application timeline senior year plan until I opened my calendar and realized everything seems to pile up at once.
Right now I am trying to map out essays, recommendation letters, testing stuff, FAFSA/CSS Profile, and actual submission dates without falling behind in school. I know the basic deadlines, but I do not really know what should happen first if I want the process to feel manageable.
For people who already went through this, what did your timeline look like from August to January?
Did you set personal deadlines way earlier than the real ones, and if so, by how much?
