By the fall of the senior year in high school, the shopping for a college should stop and the applying should begin. Many selective colleges and universities have fall deadlines. Others may have deadlines late in the spring, or may even continue taking applications through the summer. Always check the actual website of the college you want to apply to for the most accurate admission deadline and requirements!
