<p>What is the earliest that anyone has applied? When is the best time to submit the application? Any advice would be great.</p>
<p>Do It Now!</p>
<p>No. It is never too early to apply. As soon as you can send in your application, assuming you have a strong GPA and a respectable SAT/ACT score, do it.</p>
<p>Is there a point in waiting because if your semester isnt complete yet then your grades are not even final?</p>
<p>No. If you wait till after the semester is through, it's usually too late.</p>
<p>thanks for the help, everyone.</p>
<p>I applied in Nov and my HS didn't send in my transcript until Dec. You CCers need to chill.</p>
<p>It's true that you can apply late (after Christmas) and still get in, but you might get screwed for scholarships if you do.</p>
<p>Why not apply early? It can't hurt, so do it.</p>
<p>I'm gonna bother my counselor EVERY DAY because it's so easy to submit transcripts now because of the online submission thing.</p>
<p>There is NO EXCUSE for a counselor to not pump your credentials out within a week, period.</p>
<p>Her recomendation is another story, but still I have already gotten my teacher rec. And teachers are pretty bust too.</p>
