Advice

By now, many seniors have a good idea of the schools they think will be a good fit for them.

If a student is planning to apply to multiple schools, it is essential to stay organized so key requirements and important deadlines are not overlooked or missed. A good way to do this is by creating a chart that includes each school along with the application used, due dates and deadlines, testing requirements (if any) and if they accept letters of recommendation or need supplemental information.

It is also helpful for seniors to visit the admissions page of each school to see if there are specific requirements for admission that they will need to meet. They should also explore the school’s website to learn what each school considers as important factors when considering applications.  When a student begins to populate their applications, this information can be helpful as they decide how to prioritize their activities, achievements, and recognitions.
