Last fall, I was super overwhelmed by the college application process, especially the timeline. I felt like I was drowning in dates and deadlines. So, I decided to break it down month by month. Starting in June, I created a checklist with all the applications, standardized tests, and recommendation letters I needed.
From August to October, I focused on personal statements and essays, gradually polishing them until they were just right. It was honestly a game changer for me, spreading out the work helped me not freak out as much. If you're looking for a way to stay on track with your applications this year, I highly recommend sticking to a timeline!
