Planning out your college application timeline in your senior year can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Here’s my approach that really helped me stay organized and on track.
- Summer Before Senior Year: Start researching schools. Make a list of your top choices.
- Fall: Work on your essays and personal statements. Get feedback from teachers or friends.
- September: Finalize your list of schools and check their deadlines.
- October: Start submitting early decision applications if you’re going that route.
- November: Finish up regular applications, proofread everything, and ask for recommendations.
- December: Submit any last-minute applications and enjoy the holidays!
Sticking to a timeline will help you manage stress and keep everything in check. Good luck!
