<p>Just curious to see how many of you are looking at the clock every fifteen minutes while trying to squeeze fifteen extra characters in an online application. </p>
<p>Just remember that there is a God for procrastinators. :)</p>
<p>My daughter has a friend who was running around school yesterday morning trying to find a teacher to write her a recommendation for an ED application due today. If there's truly a God of procrastinators, hopefully he'll take pity on her poor soul. :)</p>
<p>and to think D skipped applying ED and missed all this drama! ;)</p>
<p>EK, It happens again at RD time.</p>
<p>I gave my daughter a drop-dead date of December 1 for all of her RD apps and scholarship apps. After hearing her mention STARTING on some essays over Thanksgiving break, I think I need to tell her that she should take the words "drop-dead" literally ;)!</p>

<p>:eek: and here I thought I was the queen of procrastinating.</p>
<p>EA deadlines also come into play today for some schools. </p>
<p>Scholarship consideration deadline for some schools is today.</p>
<p>Is there a suggested deadline that students should shoot for? all apps in by Christmas break? know it depends on the individual schools.</p>
<p>I'll just be drinking my tea and watching the fun on the forums tonight. Check me again NEXT year at this time -- my S is the Lord God King of procrastinators.</p>
<p>Our Guidance Dept wants all transcript requests and School Report forms in by end of first week in December; I guess ditto for Teacher
Recs. This is for 1/1 applications. Ideally, students should submit applications first (or Form 1 to some schools) to open files. I guess SAT scores should be sent in Dec as College Board says it takes
3-5 weeks to send them out; what do y'all think about this? I hope my child will have most apps done by Dec 1 or shortly thereafter especially cuz we'd like to enjoy our family vacation. We leave third week in Dec and I can't imagine my child doing apps while on vacation.</p>
<p>My, my. And here I was panicking that we didn't get the app out until yesterday AM at 10:00 AM Fed Ex. Silly me. She was a full day and half ahead of the pack!</p>
<p>don't forget the online PROFILE, if required by Nov 1.....CB shuts down at midnight Eastern time for those Nov 1 schools.</p>
<p>You guys are scaring me. :) My son is planning to get serious about his apps (due 1/1) over Thanksgiving break. I don't have a problem with this - nor do I see how he'll have much time to get started before then.
He's already sent scores - it does take a few weeks, and it's easy to do. Recs have been requested already -Some schools want Part I in advance, so he's done that, but he hasn't really written any essays that he's happy with yet. I expect he'll be finishing up over Christmas break, as well. Vacations? He'll have a great one over spring break!</p>
<p>ASAP, I think we've just been talking about the EA/ED apps with deadlines of November 1st. Now 24 hours past!</p>
<p>Spring break? Hah! That's when you really start obsessing over the RD responses that haven't come back yet.</p>
