Ask for recommendations well in advance of your deadline (at least a month). Make sure to provide a profile of information about you, your goals, interests and accomplishments for the recommendation writer. Think about who you will ask to write the recommendation – preferably someone who knows you very well and likes you. These should be sent to the University at least two weeks before the admission deadline.

You will need the following information in front of you while applying for colleges: most recent academic history (counselors or graduation coach can print this out for you), SAT & ACT scores (these also need to be sent to schools electronically), your social security number, your resume of extra-curricular activities, honors/awards, and community service projects, and your current schedule.

Pay attention to all college application requirements. Make sure letters of recommendation, essays, ACT/SAT scores and transcripts are sent in at least two weeks before the admission deadline.

ALL senior year courses count (Universities can rescind admission if even one D or F shows up on academic history during senior year).

GPA should stay the same or go up senior year (Universities can rescind admission if GPA goes down).

Seniors should not drop rigorous coursework senior year (Universities can rescind admission if you were admitted based on rigorous coursework then dropped those courses).

Senior year courses are HIGHLY important and looked at thoroughly at Universities. Low rigor courses can hurt a student’s chance of admission to a University.

The transition to college is easier for students if rigorous courses are taken their senior year.

Benefits of applying early to college – priority scholarships, financial aid and housing.
