It’s that time of the year again, where students are trying to finish their college applications before the January 1st deadline. While some students are on the clock, others are able to sit back and relax.

Senior Gabe Ospina, submitted early action for most of his applications, allowing him to sit back and wait for admissions office decisions while his applications are under review. While he doesn’t have to stress about finishing the application, he does get anxious waiting for his results. Gabe said, “I’m happy that I submitted it early, but it’s just the wait. At this point, I’m just exploring my colleges and applying to them for fun.”

On the other hand, a few seniors are still trying to submit their applications. Though, at this point, with the December 1st application passing, students have likely finished their college essays and are now just trying to perfect their application.

Senior Denis Dromasco recently submitted his Rutgers application. When asked about the thought process of submitting the application, Denis told the Hub, “It’s just a lot going through my mind, especially with the essay. I often think that I’m doing something wrong on the application even though I know for a fact I’m doing them right. I just want my application to be near perfect when submitting.”

Other seniors are going through the same struggle as Denis, as they want their application to be the best it can be before submission. Though no matter what position seniors are in, they are all preparing to find success in their next chapter in life.
