Senior Year Timeline: What to Do and When to Do It
Senior year is the busiest—and most important—year in the college process. From applications to financial aid, staying on top of the timeline can mean the difference between a dream school with full aid or a missed opportunity.
Here’s a high-level timeline:

-
August–October: Finalize college list, begin applications, take or retake SAT/ACT, start FAFSA prep
-
October–December: Submit FAFSA and CSS Profile, meet Early Action/Decision deadlines, compare net price calculators
-
January–March: Submit regular applications, track aid letters, consider appeals
-
April–May: Make final decisions, compare offers, submit deposits
