Pulling an All-Nighter for the College Application
A recent New York Times article looks at the first student to submit his college application, at 3:30 AM of the day this year’s application became available. According to deans of admissions interviewed for the article, being the first to apply is not necessarily an advantage. They suggest that, before applying, students should take time to hone their personal essay and wait until senior year is underway so that they can report on their progress both in and outside of class.
