College Applications: When is the optimal time to start?
- Posted by Lori McCormick on April 22nd, 2008 in Admissions
With so many time-consuming details involved in the college application process, the sooner you can complete your tasks, the less time you will scramble senior year to get things done. To alleviate some of the college application stress, begin working as early as possible on some of the preliminary details, especially if a student is planning on applying to a college early. Working off of an action plan will keep you organized and help you manage your projects and time.
Here are some questions to help you prepare for your college applications:
* What types of classes should I be taking in school?
* When is the best time to begin taking my ACT or SAT exams?
* Am I being productive with my spare time and how important are extracurricular activities?
* What do my summer plans look like?
* How do I start building a college list ?
* When should I start visiting colleges ?
* Am I eligible to apply to a University of California campus?
* How do I know what to write about in my college application essays?
