Preparing for college can be a very nerve racking experience. You have to spend all that time organizing the various portions of your application. Thereâ ™s your transcripts, personal statement, letter of recommendation and volumes of personal accomplishments to include. Once you send your application in, thereâ ™s an anxious waiting period. Applying to colleges can be pretty stressful, but one way to reduce the stress and skew the acceptance odds in your favor is to apply early.

Applying to college early is a good idea. The best time to apply to the schools that you are considering is the moment when they begin accepting applications. Whether the college youâ ™re applying to has specific deadlines or rolling admissions, as soon as you can turn in your application, do so.
In most colleges, early application increases your odds of acceptance. This is not true for every institution of higher learning, so if you are unsure whether or not an early application will increase your odds, ask admissions officers specific questions about their application policies. Ask how many students are admitted early, and find out what percentage of early applicants were accepted. If each figure is a high number, then you know that an early application will increase your chances of being accepted.

You can also apply for an early decision (or early action), but some restrictions will apply. When you apply for an early decision, you have to be fairly certain that you will be accepted. Early decisions come at a price. Typically, the college that you are applying to will want to have a higher degree of commitment from you if you are accepted. You may have to apply exclusively to just one school and commit to only that school if accepted. Early decisions are usually made by December, so if you are confident that you can get in to the school of your choice, and if you are ready to make an exclusive commitment to that school, then early decisions can really help you speed up the admissions process.

Even of you plan to attend a community college, you still need to apply early. The admissions process for junior colleges is much more streamlined and much less stringent than the application process for four-year universities. Despite the more simple procedures and requirements, some community colleges start to turn applicants away when they get too full. If you really want to secure a spot at your local community college, then applying early is the way to go.
Applying early will save you time and reduce your level of academic anxiety. When you apply early, you get results back quickly. Whether the news is good or bad, the more time you have to make arrangements the better. If you get into the school of your choice, you can immediately start looking for housing and accepting financial aid. If you are rejected from the school of your choice, then you still have time to take evasive action like appealing your decision or finding alternative solutions.
