Most colleges close early applications in 7 weeks.
Applying early can often be beneficial - higher acceptance rates, more scholarships, consideration for honors college, etc.
However, applying early can also limit your options financially or rush you to submit a weaker application.
Join our free workshop led by a certified college counselor to learn whether early applications are the best path for your family. We'll break down the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision.
Parents and students welcome.
