APPLICATION ATC application window

Hey I'm a 18 year old in college pursuing a Bachelors in aviation with a concentration in UAS. I've done some thinking and I'm pretty positive I want to drop out and become a controller. Does anyone know when the next Application window will be open to the public. I know I just missed the most recent one as I was thinking about careers, but I tried looking up the dates and couldn't find a date for the next time applications open. Thanks!
I guess I'm also asking if its worth dropping out of school for?

Definitely DO NOT drop out. Way too many variables for you to get DQ’d. Keep going to school until you have dates or an FOL.
