I'm a junior in high school. How early can I send in my applications?

January 08, 2009

If you want to take advantage of this unique program, you need to make sure that you have fulfilled your high school's graduation requirements as well as your standardized testing.

Will colleges accept my application if I missed the deadline?

December 31, 2008


You should never submit a late application. It is your responsibility to know the deadlines for each of your colleges and submit your application in time; this is the first test of a student's maturity. Of course, if there are extenuating circumstances, the college may still accept your application.
