some random questions regarding college admissions and college life

<p>1) can you submit your application before sending your transcript and sat scores?</p>

<p>2) do you have to submit your application and send your sat scores on the same day?</p>

<p>3) if I hand in my transcript release forms now, do the colleges NOT see my 1st semester grades of my senior year???</p>

<p>4) SAT's in December. Would it be considered too late?</p>

<p>5) do the teachers who you asked to write your recommendation letter let you read the actual recommendation letter? (so you can see what they wrote and how good they wrote it)</p>

<p>6) is college different from high school? i mean this like, in high school you have an actual schedule you follow (1st period blah blah, 2nd period blah blah, all the way to 8th period or 9th period) is it like the same in College? and are the class sizes small or big? in HS, there's been like an average class of low 20's, is it much bigger in college? and do I only take classes with the kids who selected the same major as me? are there "low, basic" classes and "high, honor classes" in college just like there is in high school? or in college, is it all mixed? I'm confused.</p>

<p>7) do you get "freedom" in college?</p>

<p>thanks.</p>
