Watch admission deadlines and apply on time to your “reach,” “safety,” and “match” schools
Update your portfolio/resume
Ask 2-3 teachers with whom you have a positive relationship for letters of recommendation
- Ask early to give ample time as many teachers cap the amount of letters they are able to effectively write
Sign your FERPA (Federal Education Right to Privacy Act) Waiver if you choose to waive your rights to view your recommendations (recommended)
Complete the FAFSA and CSS if necessary
- Apply even if you do not plan to accept financial aid as the FAFSA is required for many merit and needs based scholarships
Apply for Scholarships
Complete all core courses required to graduate
Keep going strong until graduation. Don’t slack off in your second semester of senior year, even if you’ve already been accepted to college. Schools have been known to rescind (take away) admission from students who posted poor grades in their second semester. Don’t let this happen to you!
Limit mid-year schedule changes.
