<p>I'm going to be a senior next year. Should I prepare in the summer or wait until september/november?</p>
<p>I think it depends on your course load next year. I have a pretty tough schedule, so I’ve been working on them throughout the summer.</p>
<p>I’d at least get started in the summer. Starting early gives you enough time to write multiple versions and choose the best. Also, depending on how many schools you’re applying to and your course load next year, you might not have enough time during the school year.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the advice 
I’ll be sure not to procrastinate.</p>
<p>You should have a rough draft by now.</p>
