<p>Sorry if you saw a similar thread about this on another board... I accidentally posted on the wrong board.</p>
<p>2 questions.
1) I am taking 3 SAT II's this june, and I already took the SAT I once. My SAT I score is not so good and I am planning on retaking it. Is October/November both possible dates to take the SAT before college applying or is that too late? I may also take the ACT in sept/oct/nov as well. Also how does october/november testing affect ED/EA?
2) Lots of people say to get your essays done before summer ends... but my question is how do you know what to write about? Dont lots of colleges have different prompts?</p>
<ol>
<li>October is probably the latest you want to retake, in terms of ED/EA.</li>
<li>Colleges that reuse their essay prompts (like Rutgers) can be completed over the summer.</li>
</ol>
<p>1) Sept/Oct is probably the last ones you can take before EA/ED
2) Common app has a list of essays that you need to write. You can get those done. Some schools also post their essays prompts in August.</p>
<p>Good topic coolman. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on how stressful the application process is? Yeah its kind of subjective and probably depends on how organized you are but is it possible to apply to 5+ schools in like 2 months? cuz i have to decide whether im going to germany in september for my senior year or not…haha. sorry to hijack; its kinda related to question number 2 :-)</p>
