Perhaps, It's Not Too Late To Apply

'I would never finish a painting if I didn't have a deadline.' Peter Doig

Peter Doig is a Scottish painter. One of the most renowned living figurative painters, he has settled in Trinidad since 2002. In 2007, his painting White Canoe sold at Sotheby's for $11.3 million.
Even master painters work up to the last minute. 

I know folks who have successfully applied to independent schools at the very last minute. I am not advocating this strategy, and I am not minimizing the benefit of time; however, applying the day of the deadline is a real option. 

What I am trying to say is, if the application is due tomorrow and you still want to apply, do it. More often than not, the first deadline date is a preliminary deadline, meaning not everything is due at once. 

Here are three tips as you close out the app process. 

  1. meet deadlines with confidence.

  2. make sure school reports get done on time (donuts can't hurt).

  3. thank you! 's go a long way.
