<p>My school takes seniors who have a 3.0 GPA and above on a college visit, together, in November. At that time, we can fill out their application then for free (saving about $35).</p>
<p>My thing is, I've already applied to the other colleges that I'm considering. Isn't November to late to apply to a college? I mean, my counselor told me that I should be done with college applications by November. The college does have a rolling admissions.</p>
<p>But if I apply that I late, wouldn't I be missing scholarship deadlines, or nearly making them? I don't want to be pushing the deadlines and be stressed out about not making them.</p>
<p>Should I just apply now, and spend the $35 application fee or wait until November?
My mom said I should just apply now.</p>
<p>So they take you on one college visit and you’re supposed to apply there because you are there? Wow, talk about putting all your eggs in one basket. </p>
<p>Each college/university has specific deadlines for their school. Check online and look at their deadlines. If you’re talking about early action or early decision, then those application dates may be before November. </p>
<p>When you apply, there should be a box that asks if you will be applying for financial aid. So if you need any kind of help like scholarships, work-study, or loans, you will be filling out a FAFSA (free application for Federal Student Aid) after January 1st but before March 2 with parent income information. Parents estimate their taxes. That information is then sent to the colleges.</p>
<p>Depends on the college. Obviously, check for earlier scholarship deadlines and the like.</p>
<p>Applying early to schools with rolling or early action can be to your advantage – if accepted early and the cost is within affordability, you now have a safety.</p>
