This fall's high school seniors will have just 6 weeks to accomplish a mountain of college application work...unless they get it out of the way now. They are also facing an expensive school year with senior year expenses and college application and standardized test fees.

 

Time will be at a premium in the fall. Students who take small bites out of the application monster this summer will be on easy street when their friends are having meltdowns in October. Not sweating mountains of college application essays in addition to their regular classwork in the fall will lead to better grades in the senior year.
