Deadlines

Pay attention to each individual deadline. Each school has it’s own deadline. Most are in early January or February for the following fall semester. You want to submit and/or mail all of your application pieces at least a week before the deadline. This gives you time if your application wasn’t submitted electronically or your application was lost in the mail. It also gives you time to review all of your materials to make sure you submitted everything on time.

Stay on top of your deadlines. The time will slip away fast if you don’t keep working on the different pieces of your application. Try to give yourself goals of when you want to complete certain aspects of your application so you can easily put all of it together when it comes time to submit the entire application.
