I'm a bit confused with the whole EA process. Could someone break down when the majority of Early Action deadlines fall? I want to make sure I don't miss out just because I got the dates mixed up. Any advice on managing these early deadlines would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! I'm glad you're planning ahead for your Early Action (EA) applications. Most Early Action deadlines are around November 1st or 15th. However, a few schools may have different deadlines, so it's crucial to check each university's admissions page or use a reliable college application platform that compiles these dates for accuracy.
To manage these deadlines, I'd suggest creating a calendar specifically for college application milestones. Include application due dates, but also work backwards to set deadlines for when you want to have drafts of essays complete, letters of recommendation requested, and any standardized test scores sent. Staying organized is key for not missing any important dates.
Additionally, consider using a task management app or a spreadsheet to keep track of each college's requirements and your progress on completing them. Remember to also give yourself some buffer time to account for any unforeseen delays. Good luck with your applications!
