Step 24
Matching Deadlines to Your List
Application deadlines often feel stressful because they exist somewhere in the future until suddenly they do not.
Looking at deadlines early gives you more control over your time and helps prevent unnecessary last-minute pressure.
Core Idea
Deadlines feel more manageable when you can see them clearly.
Your One Action
Look at the colleges on your current list.
In your College Process Hub section College Research Notes, for each school, find and record:
application deadline
application type (Early Action, Early Decision, Regular Decision, etc.)
any major requirements you still need to complete
Then identify: “The deadline I need to pay attention to first is ______.”
Optional prompt: “The requirement I am most likely to underestimate is ______.”
