When should I apply for this college? c/o 2011

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I'm currently a Junior in high school. I will be a senior Fall 2010. I've already started my online application for one school but i'm not sure when I should send it in. I take my ACT next month so I was thinking I would send it when I got my score back- but i'm not quite sure...
The application doesn't say much. It DOES ask when I graduate though which i'm assuming that they will know that I will be applying for Fall 2011.
According to the application; i could apply without my test scores, I just have to tell them when I take my test. So eventually they would request my scores. Then it goes on to the activities and awards section.</p>

<p>When I skip ahead it "submit" says to 1.)print out my application 2.)print transcript request to give to counselor and 3.) receive instructions on submitting act scores.</p>

<p>then it says,
"Don't forget to have your transcript and standardized test scores sent to our Office of Admission no later than April 1."</p>

<p>Since April 1 has past, this would mean send it before April 1, 2011?</p>

<p>Also, if I finish my application, not including, act score, fafsa, and transcript, I will just have to turn that in before the due date. And, would it mean that I have time to bring up my grades and take a few college courses?</p>

<p>And last, they have rolling application..
What should I do?</p>

<p>My thing is, I don't want to be last minute. I want to be early with my college applications to save me from the stress next fall.</p>

<p>my recommendation is to turn it in sooner rather then later. but dont feel rushed.</p>

<p>turn it in at soon as you think it is the best it can be</p>

<p>and if a school offers rolling decision then the sooner you turn it in the sooner you get a response.</p>

<p>I’d call the school and ask - I think you have last year’s leftover application. There’s no reason you need to apply this early.</p>

<p>I’d also work closely with your high school guidance counselor…make sure he or she is aware of your intentions/actions.</p>
