HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR YEAR

September

Check your transcripts to make sure you have all the credits you need to get into your college(s) of choice. Find out from the colleges to which you are applying whether or not they need official copies of your transcripts (transcripts sent directly from your high school) sent at the time of application.

Register for October/November SAT I, SAT II, and ACT tests. Take another look at your list of colleges and make sure that they still satisfy your requirements. Add and/or remove colleges as necessary.

Make sure you meet the requirements (including any transcript requirements) for all the colleges to which you want to apply. Double check the deadlines, and begin your applications. Take some time to think about and outline any essays required. Give any recommendation forms to the appropriate teachers or counselors with stamped, college-addressed envelopes making certain that your portion of the forms are filled out completely and accurately.

Most early decision and early action applications are due between October 1 and November 1. Keep this in mind if you intend to take advantage of these options, and remember to request that your high school send your official transcripts to the college to which you are applying.
