Module 1: Application Timeline

Here's why it pays to learn from someone who's going before you -- I know exactly where students get stuck and what get's missed in trying to understand the application timeline on their own.

In this module we are going to achieve TOTAL clarity on the nitty gritty details of applying, what you need to hit submit, deadlines to know, and HOW to successfully apply early.

• Guidance on all things letters or recommendation: how to ask for them, what to say, when you need them by, and more.
