US kids - what month do you finish your penultimate year of high school? June or July?

Also, what when do you start sending applications to colleges?

Most public school systems finish up by the middle of May, actually. And I started sending out college applications the summer before I started my last year of high school, I think? So, not quite a year before I graduated.

depends. up north schools run from september to june, usually, but here down south it's from august to may, if only because of the hurricane seasons starting in june and then also the heat keeping us from thinking.

we can start sending in applications in junior year, although it counts only as early admission until you're a senior.

you've probably got an answer but I'm gonna say it anyways. I assume you mean our last year of high school? or the last year it counts? we start filling out applications our junior year, if we're really really worried, but usually around late late winter or early spring our senior year. but we all finish the same month, every class does, but senior have more free time, lax y'know? because the second semester's really just for those select few who need the grade to boost their GPA.

I think I started sending college acceptance in like.. December.. I dunno.. They take early acceptance. But I think the deadline is usually either February or March? Except you have to send in Financial Aid in February, too.

I don't know why I'm trying to answer this question. I am so old I don't remember.

I asked Kelly about the end date. She went to private school in Chicago.

When I was in high school (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth), the school year ended in June; and I started applying at colleges mid-junior year. If I was insanely nerdy, I would've gone with sophomore year. But, I'm not *that* bad!

We finish high school in June. Generally you start looking for colleges in your Junior year of school, but if you're lazy like I am you rush during the beginning of your Senior year. Each school is different when it comes to deadlines, but it's good to have your applications out before Christmas.
