<p>Yes, I am a senior (or will be in a couple weeks when school starts), but I'm really confused about the whole Common App business. When do we start building up our applications on the Common App?</p>
<p>You can start now.</p>
<p>i wouldn’t start until two hours before its due because i’m at my best under stressful conditions…if you’re like me wait until the last moment…if not then start when you feel you’ll be in your best form</p>
<p>try to start now. It’s best not to procrasinate. If you work under pressure like poster 3 says, then set deadlines for yourself. But that’s because I’m applying early action for most of my schools and don’t want to be sending out crappy essays to them.</p>
<p>I’ve already started and have even written my first draft of my essay. I would start as soon as possible (maybe even now) because most schools require additional essays, and you don’t want to be writing multiple essays while juggling school work and whatnot.</p>
<p>dont wait for the day of the deadline because servers get jammed and sometimes they shutdown on the last day becasue soo many people wait. try and do it a week early just to be safe</p>
