<p>i always see the deadlines on the colleges' website but had not see when the application of this year begins, so anyone could help me about that? </p>
<p>when do those elite colleges begin to accept applications?</p>
<p>thanks for any responding~</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Most colleges post their applications for the fall in mid to late August.</p>
<p>You can send in your application after they post the application online or make it available by mail. You just have to make sure you've got the teacher recs., transcript, GC rec. together to be sent. I'd recommend until you've got the entire thing ready. It might be a hassle if you apply early in the year and have to make sure, three months later, that stuff has been/is being sent from the other sources. So if you're applying regular decision to a college, I wouldn't necessarily submit the app. in October, per se.<br>
As far as I know, they review apps. at about the same time (they're more focused on recruiting during the fall than app. reading), so there wouldn't be much benefit to applying way before the deadline. And maybe it's just me, but I feel like there'd be a greater chance of an app. getting put on a shelf and forgotten about.</p>
