That's exactly what Hector Lopez and I, Kayla Record, unpack in this revealing episode of Cut Throat College Planning. We share the inside scoop on why early application submissions can be a game-changer, diving into the benefits of both early action and early decision applications. It's not just about expressing interest; it's about demonstrating commitment and readiness to your dream college. And remember, this isn't about following your friends—it's about forging your own path to the institution that aligns with your ambitions and goals.

Join us as we dissect the application elements that truly tip the scales in your favor. Grades and test scores? Sure, they matter, but they're just part of the equation. We shine a light on the heft of achievements, the insight of recommendations, and the personal flair of essays and interviews that together paint a picture of who you are and what you'll bring to a college community. For those facing early decision setbacks, we've got a plan, including a look into the world of rolling admissions.
