Sure, we've heard that since our early childhood days. But it seems like it's forgotten when it comes to college admissions and applications. Where most student-families wait for months (it's easier to wait), we get the applications of our rising seniors submitted by Labor Day. This is for three reasons-
- The students are too busy with school once they return for their senior year, typically putting off their applications until they become late and urgent; getting rushed and resulting in disappointing outcomes.
- August applications are considered "early"; early applicants (includes Early Action) are viewed upon favorably as they are typically submitted by the more serious students; resulting in higher rates of acceptances and increased scholarships.
- Getting applications done early provides a great relief and peace-of-mind throughout the family.
