Knowing your admission status earlier can alleviate some of the stress and uncertainty associated with the college application process.

Benefits of Applying Early

Let’s make the most of your college search and dive right into the good stuff.

Applying to college can be overwhelming, but in no way should the process be painful. This is an exciting time! Especially if you’re the first in your family to do so. Celebrate the process and enjoy this momentous chapter of your life. Your college search and application process doesn’t need to be long or arduous either, especially if you know what you want. There’s no set timeline or trendy timeframe to be pressured into meeting.

This is your choice. Your fit. Your next four.

Applying early unlocks it all!

Early applications tend to have higher acceptance rates as colleges start to build their incoming classes than applying late in the process when space typically fills up, especially with certain majors.

Bloomsburg is a great place because our student organizations are very close-knit and comforting. It's a great space to come and meet friends and release some of the stress we go through every day as college students.

Karsen Kennedy, media and journalism major

The value of early registration that comes with the Honors program cannot be stated enough. Throughout my time at Mansfield, I’ve never once failed to get a class I needed or wanted. This has given me the freedom to build out my academic schedule to best fit my work and personal schedule, which as a commuter, is crucial.
