The Early Bird Gets the Worm
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.
