<p>Hello everyone. (: I am going to be a senior in high school. It's mid July and I'm anxious to start applying for college before my summer ends. I think that it would be greatly beneficial and smart to begin my college application process before September rolls around. How early can I apply for college though? Can I apply, even though it's July? Let me know. Thank you!</p>
<p>August 1st is when the Common App opens, and most places use that. And I believe that most colleges that don’t use the Common App still open up for applications August 1st, but there may be some exceptions. Good luck! :)</p>
<p>Common App essay questions rarely if ever change, so you can look them up and get a start on your favorite topic. You need to spend a pretty decent chunk of tine on the essays anyway.</p>
<p>Some schools are already accepting apps.</p>
<p>Alabama’s app went live on July 6th and the apps are coming in now.</p>
