So I’m applying to St. louis Univeristy, Washington University in St. Louis, Creighton University, and University of Richmond. They all require the Common App. My plan on sending in all my appplications by November 20th. I just need to finish the essay. All the college’s scholarships are due by Jan. 15th. Should I send in my application now, and then get my scholarship applications ready? Or send everything together sometime late December or January? Advice please! Thank you.
Sooner is always better as long as it is not a binding application. And as long as you have put enough effort and review into your essay. I briefly looked up the timeline for St. Louis University here:

Note that their scholarship application (President’s scholarship and others) deadline appears to be December 1,
NOT Jan 15th!
I suggest you check the timeline pages for all your schools to make sure you are on track.
