<p>I am in ninth grade right now and I was wondering when is the earliest time you can send in an application for college?</p>
<p>Usually mid to late summer before your senior year. The new Common Application becomes available sometime in July each year. Colleges which use their own application also usually come out midsummer.</p>
<p>You’ll also need to check to see what your school requires for processing transcripts, teacher/counselor recommendations, etc. Most high schools have their own procedures and deadlines.</p>
