<p>I have asked that here, before. </p>
<p>It happens every year. </p>
<p>Yes, adults do the same with taxes, but if we can’t get our stuff together, we can file an extension. Same does not apply to college apps. </p>
<p>I understand the ED outcomes influencing it, but it is also SAT/ACT test scores, transcripts, confusion over what essays to write, peer and teacher and GC recs… Much of that stuff should have been set in place weeks ago. </p>
<p>Every year, like clockwork, someone misses an important deadline. </p>
<p>And why?</p>
