Hi, I am 17 and female. I am a senior in my high school and have yet to take my SAT's. I am registered to take them very soon. Before I take them, I intend to do some college visits. I know I should have done this over the summer but I was to busy with work. After I do college visits, then take my SAT's, I plan to apply for the colleges of my choice. That would probably be in 2 months. I am very concerned that applying that late would already make me not eligible to be accepted because I know you need to apply super early.
Am I correct in thinking this? Or will I get accepted to a college this late when I do my applying?

LC130 answered Monday September 5 2011, 7:31 pm: It is always better to apply early but as long as your application is submitted by the due date you will be fine. Stressing about being late might make you more likely to overlook or forget things that are required for admission. It's a good idea to slow down for a minute and make sure you have everything that is required. The first thing you should find out is the admission deadline! Most colleges have a check list of some kind on their website for new students. Make sure you print it out and go over it BEFORE you begin the application process, that way you know ahead of time what you need and have time to get anything that you are missing. To help move things along, if you have a few colleges in mind already it wouldn't hurt to visit their website now and see what you will need as far as application requirements.
