Early application deadlines loom
October 26th, 2022November 1 and 15, the most common Early Action and Early Decision deadlines, are quickly approaching! Many students are on the cusp of hitting submit, and today we want to emphasize that one last mindful review is truly a must.
Make sure your application tells your story fully and well, giving colleges a compelling picture of who you are. Proofreading is a vital part of the college application process, too, as small typos can detract from the overall quality and convey carelessness. Have someone you trust read each application over before you hit “submit.”
Another tip: aim to submit applications before published deadlines when possible, as computer servers can become overloaded on deadline day.
Once you’ve reviewed and put the final touches on your work, and you feel that your application reflects the highest quality you can muster, there’s no reason to feel uneasy. To quote Nike’s age-old ad campaign, “Just do it.”
