The Ideal College Application Timeline for 2023-2024

For rising high school seniors, summer is the time to hit the ground running with your college applications. While you may have commitments with pre-college summer programs or other activities, the Common App personal statement and supplemental essays for EA/ED schools should not be put on the back burner. When you go back to school in August or September, you will have even more items on your plate—and less time to dedicate to writing quality essays and honing your activities list. The following is our recommended timeline for staying on track with your college applications.
