The Regular Admission Process Provides Students With Additional Opportunities

Students who wish to submit some (or all) of their college applications after fall 2009 must use the Regular Admission process. These students will be joining the ranks of the majority of college-bound students; most college applications are submitted after the first of the year using the Regular Application process.

Regular Application deadlines typically range between January 15 and February 1, 2010, so there is plenty of time for students to complete and submit applications. But make no mistake, students must not delay starting the Regular Application process. As with all admission applications, the process to complete them includes filling out lengthy applications, writing essays, requesting recommendations from teachers and counselors and many other tasks. The Regular Application process will take longer than anticipated, so students need to get started as soon as possible. In addition, many distractions are looming (Thanksgiving holiday, senior projects, fall semester final exams, winter holidays, etc.) so excuses for delaying the process are not acceptable.

MyCollegeCalendar provides all the Regular Application tasks for students in chronologic order. Students (and parents) can simply login at MyCollegeCalendar.org and edit their settings to High School Senior, Regular Application (the “Calendar” and “settings” links are located in the toolbar at the page top), and all tasks with instructions are displayed by date on November, December and January calendars. Follow MyCollegeCalendar to finish all Regular Application tasks and to meet all deadlines.
