As of right now, all college deadlines are around the first of February, so you need to complete them as quickly as you can, as instructed by your counselors, who push you to finish early and support you in getting there no matter what. Now since there are deadlines, students might become really stressed out if they don't complete everything before the deadline or if they believe their work isn't “good enough.” Stress is a result of all of these factors, which isn’t bad for you and your applications but it can cause you to not think things through. And failing to consider things leads to sloppy work (for example, how I tend to turn in most of my work later than expected). Putting off your work will result in it being poor, and colleges won't be interested in you as a result of the laziness of your application. Before submitting your applications anyplace, you should always feel good about yourself and the quality of your writing since the more confident you are, the more likely you are to get accepted into the college of your choice. Your counselors at East can be a great help. Mrs. Burnell has said that when kids don’t turn applications in before the deadline, it aggravates them or makes them disappointed in students’ work ethic because they failed to do what they had the opportunity to do earlier. Meeting college deadlines is a critical matter that must be done right away by everyone interested in attending college. College deadlines are not a joke and should be taken seriously no matter the cause. Being prepared for college and taking the right steps will help you adapt to the changes. If you have questions about college or college readiness you can always go to the Upward Bound/ College Prep Center (F108) or speak to your counselor.
