When applying to college, watch those deadlines. There are deadlines for all sorts of things in addition to the application deadline -- financial aid, FAFSA deadline, acceptance deadlines, etc. As a helpful hint, once you have identified the college to which you want to apply go the the Admissions website and immediately locate the applications calendar. The calendar usually includes the financial aid deadlines; but if it doesn't locate that calendar, too. For individual scholarships, check those deadlines, too.
Good luck to all applicants on your trails through Application Land.
