<p>When, in your opinon, is the best time to send in an application to the schools in which you are applying to? What would be the steps to take before sending the application in? I am currently in the first week of eighth grade. How long should I wait? </p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>
<p>Begin to solicit your recommenders now. Speak with your counselor about transcript and other necessary documents. Register for SSAT now. As soon as the apps are available begin working on your essays. It takes some time.</p>
<p>Alright- thank you! Any more suggestions?</p>
<p>Familiarize yourself with the common application. Make interview appointments.....make a travel schedule.</p>
