Does anyone know how much the school has to do with regards to their part of his application?
Such as how long should it take them to do their part? And should my son turn in his part WELL before Oct. 9 to them?
Problem is the school didn’t give him the application information until 9-18 and the following week was super busy, so he will be getting the essay done this week. Will that be enough time for the school to do their part?
You have to ask the school. I wouldn’t chance it and I’d get a date from the school, such as “Will you submit by Oct 1 If he turns it in on Sept 29?”

Yes, check with the school. My daughters were called into see their principal on 9/5 when they were told they were semifinalists. Their guidance counselor met with them around 9/11 and they given their passwords to log in. They were given a generic brag sheet to fill out with information so the counselor could write a recommendation letter. We turned in that form and an updated resume by early last week. They were told their deadline for submission to the school was this past Friday/Monday even though the official deadline is Oct 9th, so their school wanted it completed about 2.5 weeks early. Sounded a bit extreme to us how early they wanted our portion completed but it’s done. Once they clicked “finalize” on the application, we received email confirmation that the application has been submitted to their school so we are just waiting for them to finish their portion.
send it as soon as possible and it will be off the to do list!
