The College Admissions Timeline: What to Expect and When

Tuesday, May 12 · 7:00 PM ET · Live on Zoom

College admissions is what we do every day, and one thing we know for certain: you are not behind.

Very few families have this all mapped out ahead of time, and that's completely normal. What matters is having a clear path forward from wherever you are right now.

This webinar is a straightforward, month-by-month breakdown of the junior and senior year timeline: what needs to happen, when it needs to happen, and how to build a plan that keeps your student on track without turning your household upside down. 

We'll walk through the deadlines that are locked in and the flexible ones where you have more room than you think.

Wherever you're starting from, you'll leave with clarity, not more stress.

What We'll Cover

In this free 60-minute webinar, Mike Wagner and the Wagner Prep advising team will walk you through:

  • The full junior-to-senior year timeline, broken down month by month

  • Early Decision, Early Action, Regular Decision, and Rolling Admission: what each one actually means and how it affects your timeline.

  • How to plan testing, college list building, and essays so they work together instead of competing

  • The most common timing mistakes families make and how to avoid them

  • What staying on track actually means at each stage of the process

You'll leave with a clear picture of where your student stands today and what the right next steps are — not a general sense of things, but a specific, actionable checklist.
