Tutors pressuring you into early deadlines?

I'm applying for medicine 2013 entry and as I'm sure everybody knows, the early deadline is 15th October.

But my tutor just said to me today that I should try to send mine in tomorrow.



Why on earth would she want me to send it in so early?! It's like a whole month until the deadline! I would understand if my reference still had to be written, but I was told that my reference was all written and checked and ready to go and the only thing they were waiting for was me.

Is anybody else being pressured into ridiculously early internal deadlines? And what are you doing about it?

Well I know sometimes sixth form's have procedures to go through before sending off a student's UCAS application. For example, my sixth form had to have my application in 2 weeks before the October 15th deadline, as it was checked by my tutor, the school's UCAS advisor, head of sixth form and head of the school! Weird school formalities.....

Don't feel to pressurised by their deadline, as long as they have time to check it will be sent to UCAS by the 15th!

Thank you. Today I spoke to them and I managed to push my deadline to this weekend 8)

No problem! Best of luck with your Med application!

My teacher wanted it in for last friday

But it's going to be more like next week. At the end of the day as long as it's before the deadline I don't see the hurry (although I aim to get mine sent off soon so it's out of the way).
