This doesn't apply so much to my fellow seniors, but I've learned something in the past few months that I feel I should pass on to underclassmen. Being the second person in my extended family to attend college for a bachelor's degree, I really didn't have anyone to turn to for advice when my search began.
As a result, my search did not begin, really, until spring break of my senior year. I began filling out applications about a week before the deadlines and used Common App to apply to a wide variety of schools that I thought I might have an interest in later. What resulted was a frantic and very stressful last quarter of my senior year that has had me reaching out desperately for some sort of certainty about the next four years of my life. I've settled on Centre College, just two days before my acceptance of admission is due, and though I'm very happy with my decision and confident that I made a good choice, the process could have been much easier if I only started it earlier.
