When To Start Applying To Colleges

<p>I will be an upcoming senoir this year (Class of 2012) and I was wondering when should we start applying to schools. Fall? Spring? Some of the schools I have been thinking about are University of Chicago, Northwestern, Loyola of Chicago, Ohio State University and others. Thanks a bunch in advance. : ]</p>

<p>start drafting essays asap so you can make them really good</p>

<p>I started working on apps late August/early September for EA schools. If you’re not applying to any EA or ED, you probably don’t have to start until October or November, but starting early is never a bad thing! Just don’t leave them too late. There’s only so many essays you can write in a day. :)</p>

<p>Hello.(: Seeing as I’m from Chicago, I’m applying to 3 of those U’s^. I actually started the Loyola one already since its my backup school. I’m applying to NU ED and maybe two schools EA so I will start my NU in September and my EAs shortly after [I want to dedicate the most time to the NU app].</p>
