Check it out: THE GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY started the season with a deadline for Georgia applicants applying for Early Action from October 10th to October 17th. Applicants, stay current on your college deadlines as they may or might not change. Williams Educational Consultants suggests that students set a personal deadline at least two to three weeks before the college deadline. Extra time will help with editing, requesting letters of recommendation, and sending required documents like transcripts, scores, school reports, etc. Deadlines are essential for a reason!
