<p>So I have not really started at all on any applications but I am pretty sure I can get into a good college with a 3.9 gpa and act scores. I also want to try and get some scholarships. My friend told me that most college application deadlines are november 1st? I am kinda freaking out! What do I do?</p>
<p>Do some research, then come back.</p>
<p>i agree.. and if its Nov. 1st and you plan to write some essays in 5 days and succeed , ill nominate you for the nobel prize</p>
<p>I am not really sure where to begin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>find out what schools have what deadlines (Nov. 1st, Nov. 15th, or Dec. 1)
then go from there to filling out the app and doing the essay</p>
<p>I just basically put my essay together today for November 1st. I plan on having numerous people look it over to fine-tune it this coming week, but it's definitely doable. Took me maybe half hour tops to get the rough rough draft out.</p>
<p>Alright thanks guys. I am not going to apply to any very selective schools anyway so maybe though were the schools he was talking about having a Nov. 1st deadline.</p>
<p>Ditto what flootloop said- the Nov 1st deadlines are typically for ED/EA apps. January 1st is the earliest for all of my RD schools. Unless you're planning on applying ED/EA anywhere (which it doesn't sound like you are), don't panic- you still have a few months until Jan. :)</p>
<p>For this ed/ea thing, will that get me a better shot at scholarships?</p>
<p>only for EA or ED
regular is usually between jan 1 and like march</p>
<p>A few schools have November 1st ED/EA deadlines.</p>
<p>Most privates have a November 15th-ish EDI/EA deadline; a December 15th EDII deadline, if they offer it; Regular deadlines are usually on or after December 31st.</p>
<p>Also, all your recs, application fee or waiver, and supplements--if the colleges require it--need to be postmarked by the due date. If you're applying for aid at an EA/ED school, you also need to see what their forma are and when they are due.</p>
