COMPLETE YOUR FAFSA- (Financial Aid Application)
Acceptance letters and financial aid offers will start to arrive. Review your acceptances, compare financial aid packages, and visit your final choices.
Check in with your counselor- your guidance counselor can help ensure you're on track to graduate and provide insight on your college choices and admissions decisions.
Don’t slack in the classroom. The college you decide to attend will want to see your second semester transcript.
May 1 is the date when the college you plan to attend requires a commitment and deposit. When you’ve made your college decision, notify your counselor. Send in your deposit by the postmark date of May 1. If you’ve been offered financial aid, accept the offer and follow the instructions given. Also notify schools you will not attend of your decision.
Request that your final transcript be sent to the college you will be attending.
If you are wait-listed by a college you really want to attend, visit, call, and write the admission office to make your interest clear. Ask how you can strengthen your application.
