How does the application cycle work?

I'm hoping someone wouldn't mind explaining the application cycle to me. Honestly, the minimum that I know is that applications are rolling, so it's best to get your applications in early. But when exactly do all applications open? (or is it different for each school?) And in how far advance do we get access to the essay questions? And is there a general date/month that you should have all your apps in in order to have a good chance for scholarship money?

I apologize if these are really basic questions. If so, I'd appreciate someone showing me a webinar or a site that breaks it all down.

Thanks a lot

Here is the Admissions Overview webinar:

Basically every school is different, so you should check schools’ websites.

As far as I know:

1. Availability of application depends on each school.
2. You see the essay prompts for a school when its application becomes accessible. They change very rarely though.
3. By the end of December.

@akistotle Thanks! I feel like a doofus for not finding that before.
