When

When should I send for my applications?

<p>a) Common App is available now, so it's a good idea to start working on that already.</p>

<p>b) If you're applying early anywhere, try to get that app some time before school starts (mid-August). Try to work on it before you're hit w/ schoolwork. Hand out early teacher recs by early oct. </p>

<p>c) Gather all your other apps by, at latest, mid-November and hand out teacher recs. You should be able to recycle some essays.</p>
