So, senior year is here and the college application deadline is sneaking up like an uninvited guest. To build a strong application plan, it’s crucial to map out a timeline. Start by jotting down key deadlines for each school, including application openings, financial aid forms, recommendations, and any standardized tests you might still need to take.
Try to have your personal statement and essays written by mid-fall. Trust me, it will save you from a last-minute panic. Also, don’t forget about asking teachers for recommendations early; they appreciate a little heads-up!
Keep a checklist, and you’ll feel more in control. Good luck!
