[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take SAT twice - in March during junior year, then do test prep, then take again sometime before the end of summer before senior year.

Finish college essay in August before senior year.

My kid appreciated the online college essay writing workshop offered by Writopia Lab during the summer. It really helped to get that essay done.

Apply to at least one college with rolling admissions in September. It feels so good to get that acceptance early.

Apply Early Action if the college offers it.

Expect better results from your Early Action applications than Regular Decision applications.

And of course, parents - get all the financial aid forms completed as soon as possible.[/quote]

Did you have a kid go through the process this year? Because your advice about EA is flat out wrong. ED has higher admission rates, but EA is only for the very very top candidates. And deferrals from EA do not mean rejections, as some people say here. My kid was deferred from 7 schools, then accepted to 5 of them--including a top 25 university.[/quote]

Actually, there are universities that accept a pretty high percentage of their applicants from the EA pool. It depends on the institution. This process is confusing.[/quote]
