Question

i'm a senior in high school and i want to study theoretical physics. i know the university that i like to go, but what is the best time to apply? what happens if i apply late?

Answer 1

You need to begin your application process right now.  Go to the website of the university you want to apply to.  Check out their deadlines, usually the end of the year/early winter.  You should take the SAT/ACT this fall.  You can begin working on your essay, getting recommendations from teachers, etc.  The applications deadline is very strict, none will be accepted after that date...you will have to wait another year if you miss it.  Good luck!  (college professor)
