| How do you balance Schoolwork and College Apps?
I figured i'd make this thread, just becuase i'm overall curious of how people manage their time well enough to fit in working on college essays and applications along with doing all of the studying, homework, and writing required to perform in school...
I always find myself completing monotonous school assignments, and never finding time to work on my essays...
So yeah, just curious what people's strategies are...

I finished my college app over the summer. And am now working exclusively on school work.
But for other people. It's just doing school work when it comes in and getting it over with. And using any spare time for college apps: free periods at school are especially useful.

My basic strategy is to keep pushing my apps aside in favor of school work and pretty much everything else. I'm actually starting to panic a bit.  | |

I stopped doing homework, now that I'm a senior, so I never really had trouble finding time to apply to college.

lol.... i can't wait to be a second semester senior.. (tho if i care at all about IB scores, i need to work through the year.. damn IB)
as for now, I've found that simply not procrastinating works well.. but then again, i don't think my case applies to the general population - my IB program doesn't give much overnight hw.. (i can spend as little as 30 mins a night), just a load of long term assignments... so i just do those a bit ahead of time.. (and freak out the rest of my classmates *evil laugh*)

i balance by trying to avoid schoolwork as much as i can at home by playing games, watching t.v., browsing the net, making things in cad or 3ds max and by 8, realizing that i should start on something. but luckily, i only had to apply to 3 colleges, 2/3 of which was online so it wasn't that bad. now there's still the matter of schoolwork...
