When to be finished with apps?

<p>By when should I be finished with all my applications and stuff?Keeping in ming the time it takes to fedex the extra forms and transcripts?If im planning on applying early to yale?
Oh and are you guys sending all the stuff i one package(transcripts,teacher rec,additional forms,etc)....or seperately?We all know the school's not going to send it on our behalf obv :)</p>

<p>When you finish is less important than when you start. You should have enough time to write strong essays and stuff. For schools with rolling admissions, finish asap. For other equal consideration deadlines, finish anytime before the deadline. The applications should generally be postmarked by the deadline (should leave your place by the deadline) so don’t worry about the time it takes Fedex to deliver (which is about 72 hours anyway, from India).
Try to send the stuff in one package. It’ll be processed faster. And its cheaper.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice blue_box :slight_smile:
I havent started with apps yet.Doesnt the commomapp come out in aug??(aug 1st to b precise?)
I thought i would go about it after that.When do you suggest I should start bdw?Im quite stressed out with all prep for oct sat,skl exams,researching college websites,etc.
If you could suggest when to start…it would be a great help!</p>

<p>I’m not sure when the Common App comes out. Start as soon as the topics are released. You don’t have to finish everything right now. Write a rough draft and refine it whenever you get the time. And don’t hesitate to scrap an essay and rewrite from scratch if you’re not satisfied. I wish I started early so I could do that too.</p>
