Once you see what you need, and the deadlines, you can move ahead. Sometimes colleges will let you sweet-talk them into taking your app for a summer course even though the official deadline has passed; depends on whether they've filled the course. Are there other programs that don't have exactly those prerequisites, or aren't as full?
And I like Infi's suggestion for day to day - small bites. Once you have an overview you can set priorities and accomplish one thing at a time. Cross that off and go on to the next.
You can do this.  |
It isn't that the deadline has passed as much as you can't matriculate in the summer and I think that impacts financial aid. I have to check with her nibs.

You are such a nerd. I hope you realize how much your kids will suffer over that when they are old enough to realize.
Get ready for
